摘要
A 58-year-old woman presented with multiple itchy, skin-coloured, waxy papules over her face, back, chest and limbs for one year. The histology revealed popular mucinosis with marked fibrosis. Her thyroid function was normal and serum protein electrophoresis detected a kappa monoclonal band. Therefore, this was a case of scleromyxoedema.
