RAMIREZ CAMPO, Lyna et al. Papulonodular mucinosis in the primary onset of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus: An unusual association. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.4, pp.280-284.  Epub 01-Nov-2020. ISSN 0121-8123.

Cutaneous mucinosis is a group of conditions characterized by the abnormal deposition of mucin in the skin. They can be primary, which in turn can be inflammatory-degenerative, and hamartomatous-neoplastic; or secondary. Papulonodular mucinosis is part of the group of dermal inflammatory-degenerative primary mucinosis. Its association with autoimmune connective tissue diseases has been described, especially with systemic lupus erythematosus, but it is considered an unusual manifestation of this disease.

The clinical case is presented of an 11 year-old girl who, at the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus, presented with skin lesions for which the histopathological diagnosis corresponded to mucinosis.

Palabras clave : Mucin; Papulonodular mucinosis; Systemic lupus erythematosus.
