Abstract
BACKGROUND. Cutaneous mucinosis can be a primary or secondary reaction, as seen in connective tissue diseases, lupus erythematosus, metabolic diseases, paraproteinemias, and even malignant lymphomas. OBJECTIVE. Focal cutaneous mucinosis usually arises as a result of the dysfunction of fibroblasts in a local area. It may arrive from various mechanical stimulations. METHODS. We presented an unusual heretofore unreported case of a polypoid mucinosis. CONCLUSION. The local mucin deposition in this patient was considered as a secondary change from frequent friction by clothes.
