Abstract

We report herein two cases of cutaneous mucinosis in a 59 and a 55 year-old woman which occurred by asymptomatic cystic nodule on the previous biopsy scar site respectively. The histopathologic findings revealed focal accumulation of mucin and proliferation of fibroblasts in the dermis. We suppose that trauma may cause these cases.
