Abstract;We report two cases, 42-year-old and 48-year-old healthy women, of acral persistent papular mucinosis. In both cases, there have taken asymptomatic whitish-yellow-whitish papules with 2-3 mm in diameter on the back of hands and on the extensor surface of forearms for several years. These were gradually increased in the number. Histological examination showed the deposition of hyaluronic acid in the upper reticular dermis. By these findings and the absence of associated systemic diseases, the patients were diagnosed as acral persistent papular mucionosis. (author abst.)
