ABSTRACT
A 43-year-old male patient visited our clinic complaining of persistent erythematous skin eruptions on the anterior chest, abdomen, and back for 10 years. Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) syndrome was diagnosed by the clinical and histopathologic features. Mucin deposition is much more conspicuous in papular lesions than in plaque lesions. Therefore, we suggest that the papular lesions may show the characteristic changes of REM and that a biopsy specimen should be obtained from a papular lesion for proper diagnosis of REM syndrome.
