AB  - Papulonodular mucinosis is a rare but well-documented finding associated with 
      systemic and cutaneous forms of lupus erythematosus (LE). It occurs exceptionally 
      in association with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). Its etiology 
      and pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. Herein, we report a case of 
      papulonodular mucinosis associated with SCLE in a middle-aged woman. On physical 
      examination, she presented with multiple flesh-coloured asymptomatic papules and 
      nodules on the trunk and upper extremities. A biopsy specimen taken from a nodule 
      showed mucin within the dermis with hypodermis and perivascular lymphocytic 
      inflammation. Considering that the proportion of patients with cutaneous lupus 
      mucinosis who progress to systemic lupus is uncertain, we suggest following these 
      patients closely for evidence of multisystem disease.
