Mucinous eccrine nevus on the waist of a child

Abstract

This article reports a case of a child with mucous eccrine nevus on the waist. The patient had brown plaques on the left lumbar spine, accompanied by sweating symptoms, and the plaques were formed 4 years and 2 months ago. However, since the patient did not experience itching or pain when the disease occurred, no attention was paid and no treatment was given, and it was believed to be related to exercise and friction. After dermatological examination, skin CT and pathological examination of lesion tissue, the child was finally diagnosed with mucous eccrine nevus, and the lesion was brown. Symptomatic supportive interventions such as observation and waiting, drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment were given to the child, all of which achieved good treatment effects. Due to the special location of the case and the clear diagnosis of the patient, after discussion with the child and his parents, no treatment was recommended, and during the 3-year follow-up, the skin lesions did not disappear, and the area and nature of the skin lesions did not change. However, the pathogenic MEN site of this child is the first report in the world, which has high clinical academic value and can provide a basis and reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar cases.
