  • Title: Adult self-healing papular mucinosis on genital skin.
    Author: Feliciani C, Pennacchia I, Massi G.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2009 Dec; 34(8):e760-2. PubMed ID: 19817766.
    Abstract:
    We report a unique case of papular mucinosis on genital skin. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed and mistreated as molluscum contagiosum. The histological sections showed a large amount of mucin with sparse plump fibroblasts. The papules resolved in a few weeks, indicating a very rare form of the adult variant of self-healing papular mucinosis. Genital localization of this peculiar mucinosis, which we suspect may be more common than reported, is an important clinical simulator of sexually transmitted disease, and correct diagnosis is important for appropriate treatment.
