ERAZO, E V et al. LYMPHEDEMATOUS MUCINOSIS ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY. A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2019, vol.100, n.2, pp.31-40. ISSN 1851-300X.
Lymphedematous mucinosis associated with obesity is a recently recognized dermatosis that corresponds to the group of focal cutaneous mucinosis. It presents a characteristic clinical course consisting of the progressive and asymptomatic appearance of lesions in the legs of adults who concomitantly have obesity and lymphedema secondary in the lower limbs, as in the clinical case that we will discuss. After having made the differential diagnosis with other possible types of cutaneous mucinosis, according to the clinical context in which the lesions occur, therapeutic management should be aimed at achieving a significant decrease in weight.
