Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a rare form of primary cutaneous mucinosis, most often involving the midline of the upper chest or back in middle-aged women. REM bears clinical and histopathologic resemblance to lupus erythematosus tumidus (LET), dermatomyositis, scleredema, and lichen myxedematosus. Early recognition and diagnosis of REM is particularly relevant to exclude the abovementioned diseases, as REM is more benign and has fewer systemic consequences.
