Primary localized cutaneous lichen myxedematosus with light chain-restricted plasma cells: A distinct variant of the localized form of lichen myxedematosus.

Lichen myxedematosus (LM) is a chronic cutaneous mucinosis that can present as a localized skin lesion or as a generalized systemic disease termed scleromyxedema. The differential diagnosis is determined by a combination of clinical presentation, serological studies, and histopathological examination. Currently, well-established and accepted histopathological features to distinguish localized LM from scleromyxedema have not been elucidated.
