New Developmental Pattern of Lesions in Alcohol - Related Adult - Type Self - Healing Cutaneous Mucinosis: A Short Report and Review of the Literatures

Abstract

Self - healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis (SHJCM) is an extremely rare disorder that manifests by sudden onset papules and nodules in juvenile patients that primarily affects the face and peri - articular areas. There are a few reports (less than 20 cases) of Self - healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis (SHJCM), especially self - healing adult - type cutaneous mucinosis (less than 5 cases). This report presents an alcoholic 23 - year - old male with hard nodular mucinous lesions that was progressively converted to the soft papular type. To the best of the author’s knowledge an d based on the literature, this is a new pattern of mucinous lesions in conjunction with alcohol consumption, as a new probable triggering factor. Due to the self - limiting nature of this disorder, the diagnosis should be kept in the physician’s mind to prevent unnecessary diagnostic or aggressive therapeutic approaches in acute onset cutaneous mucinous.
