AbstractScleromyxedema is a rare disease characterized by papular mucinous deposits, dermal fibroblast proliferation, and a monoclonal paraproteinemia. Its chronic course tends to be complicated by gastrointestinal, muscular, pulmonary, and neurologic disorders.

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2015
Scleromyxedema is characterized by cutaneous mucinosis and rarely presents to oculoplastic surgeons with bilateral upper and lower eyelid swelling. The authors present 2 case reports with a review of the literature and discuss the ophthalmic manifestations of scleromyxedema and the management of these cases.

Archives of dermatology, 1976
An unusual, nodulocystic form of scleromyxedema (lichen myxedematosus) developed in a 48-year-old man with a six-year history of psoriasis. The scleromyxedema responded to intermittent therapy with melphalan and prednisone. Dermabrasion smoothed and softened the skin and increased the mobility of the perioral skin.

Journal of Neurology, 2019
Scleromyxedema is a chronic, idiopathic disorder associated with monoclonal gammopathy, and characterized by dermal mucin deposition. However, systemic manifestations are frequent, including neuromuscular symptoms. We herein present a 71-year-old man who developed a vacuolar myopathy in a context of a known scleromyxedema, and we compare our ...

Archives of Dermatology, 1966
Two patients with typical skin lesions of scleromyxedema (lichen myxedematosus) are described. The disorder is characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts and excessive deposition of acid mucopolysaccharides in the dermis. Quantitative elevated levels of acid mucopolysaccharides were demonstrated in the serum and skin of one patient.

Encephalopathy in scleromyxedema
Neurology, 1999The authors monitored CSF findings for over 5 months in a patient with a fatal case of scleromyxedema and two episodes of encephalopathy. During both encephalopathy episodes, CSF protein and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were elevated without an increased IgG index or IgG synthesis rate. A CSF-dominant increase in the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-

Scleromyxedema and Severe Myositis
International Journal of Dermatology, 1989A case of scleromyxedema with associated rhabdomyolysis is reported. This appears to be a well-documented, although rare complication of scleromyxedema. This case is unique in that mucin was demonstrated in the muscle as well as the skin, and spontaneous resolution of the rhabdomyolysis occurred with the implementation of IV fluids and bed rest.

Scleromyxedema (also known as lichen myxedematosus or papular mucinosis) is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by lichenoid waxy papules, sclerosis, and a characteristic paraproteinemia. Rarely, if ever, is there systemic involvement. The cause and pathogenesis remain a mystery, however, a recent report has linked a serum factor with fibroblast ...
