[Cutaneous mucinosis of infancy].

Cutaneous mucinosis of infancy is a rare skin disease with just a few reported cases in the literature. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with asymptomatic, skin-coloured papules and plaques on his right arm that had appeared 9 months prior to presentation. Histology showed a dermal and deep dermal interstitial mucin deposition and fibroblast proliferation. However, because cutaneous mucinosis of infancy is a benign disease with a good prognosis, therapy is not mandatory.
