Core Tip
Core Tip: Acral persistent papular mucinosis (APPM) is a rare idiopathic subtype of localized lichen myxedematosus. To date, 40 cases have been reported worldwide; however, only seven cases have been reported in the Korean literature. This article reports on a rare case of solitary APPM, which was histologically diagnosed in a 70-year-old Korean man with a pinkish nodule on the dorsum of his hand. The patient showed marked improvement after three sessions of intralesional triamcinolone injection. This is the first reported case of a Korean APPM presenting as a solitary nodule and emphasizes the importance of continued research into the pathogenesis and treatment of this rare disease.
