Nodular-Type Lichen Myxedematosus: A Rare Variant With Exclusive Involvement of the Hands-Report of Two Cases With a Comprehensive Review of the Literature.
American Journal of Dermatopathology 2023 November 15
Lichen myxedematosus (LM) is an uncommon cutaneous mucinosis characterized by the deposition of mucin and fibroblast proliferation in the dermis. This condition can be classified into 2 forms: a diffuse/generalized LM, also known as scleromyxedema, associated with monoclonal gammopathy and systemic implications, and a localized form, primarily affecting the skin. Within the localized form, nodular-type LM is a rare variant presenting as firm, skin-colored to pinkish mucinous nodules. In this article, we report 2 new cases of nodular-type LM with exclusive involvement of the hands and provide a comprehensive review of the diagnosis, histopathological aspects, and therapeutic considerations of this rare condition.
