Primary cutaneous mucinoses are characterized by abnormal mucin deposits in the skin. Discrete papular lichen myxoedematosus (DPLM) is an unusual subtype. Only 11 of the cases described in the literature to date showed no relation to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We report a 21-year-old woman with numerous symmetrical asymptomatic papules on her trunk, arms and thighs. Results of investigations were normal. On histological examination, the upper dermis showed a focal mucin deposit. DPLM can be associated with HIV or C hepatitis virus (HCV) infection and therefore an early diagnosis is very important.

Article Synopsis
- Malignant atrophic papulosis, also known as Köhlmeier-Degos disease, was first identified in 1941 and is characterized by skin rashes and serious intestinal issues, including perforations.
- This disease involves unique vascular damage affecting microvasculature and arteries, leading to distinctive skin lesions and changes in blood vessel structure.
- A case study highlights the emergence of Köhlmeier-Degos disease following treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor (golimumab), exploring the relationship between TNF-alpha and type I interferon signaling in the disease's progression.

Pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis (PPPD) is a distinctive skin disorder in response to persistent pretibial manipulation. Clinically, it manifests as multiple discrete, pruritic, flesh-colored-to-erythematous papules and plaques confined to the pretibial area. The histological hallmark of PPPD comprises irregular epidermal psoriasiform hyperplasia with parakeratosis and spongiosis, dermal fibrosis, and lymphohistiocytic infiltration.
