new developmental pattern of lesions in alcohol - related adult - type self - healing cutaneous mucinosis: a short report and review of the literatures

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.
