Abstract
in English, French

Mucinous nevus is an exceptional entity and presents as flesh-colored to brownish papules or plaques, coalescing to form a pigmentary or verrucous lesion with either a blaschkoid, linear, grouped or zosteriform disposition. It usually appears at birth or during early childhood, but late onset has also been described. Mucinous nevus does not require additional work-up as no internal pathologies have been described. Abstention of any therapeutic intervention is usually preferred.

: Le naevus mucineux est une entité exceptionnelle, se présentant par des papules ou des plaques de couleur chair à brunâtre qui confluent sous la forme d’une lésion pigmentaire ou verruqueuse de distribution blaschkoïde, linéaire, groupée ou zostériforme. Il est le plus souvent congénital ou d’apparition précoce, mais des formes tardives ont également été rapportées. Le naevus mucineux n’est jamais associé à une pathologie interne et ne nécessite pas d’exploration complémentaire. Au vu du caractère bénin, l’abstention thérapeutique est généralement la règle.
