385 Scleromyxedema

Scleromyxedema is a disease characterized by papular mucinous deposits, dermal fibroblast proliferation, and is associated with monoclonal paraproteinemia. Systemic manifestations can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Being an extremely rare disease, its prevalence and clinical course are poorly reported. We sought to describe the characteristics of patients with scleromyxedema regarding clinical characteristics, psychological impact, therapeutic interventions, and course through anonymous online questionnaire.
