Abstract
15 renal dialysis patients have been identified with a skin condition characterised by thickening and hardening of the skin of the extremities and an increase in dermal fibroblast-like cells associated with collagen remodelling and mucin deposition. The disease closely resembles scleromyxoedema, yet has significant enough clinical and histopathological differences to warrant its designation as a new clinicopathological entity.Entities:
