Case Reports
Scleromyxedema is a scleroderma-like disorder and not a coexistance of scleroderma with papular mucinosis
Eur J Dermatol.

Abstract
We present four cases of scleromyxedema with scleroderma-like cutaneous changes mimicking systemic sclerosis and stress the importance of their differentiation from true scleroderma. Scleromyxedema should be recognized as an entity since it differs from scleroderma in the pathogenesis, histopathology of cutaneous lesions, type of visceral involvement (if present), frequent association with paraproteinemia, the course and prognosis.
