S ummary The reticular erythematous mucinosis syndrome of Steigleder is a macular erythema‐tous form of inflammatory mucinosis. Clinically and histopathologically it has many similarities with the plaque‐like mucinosis of Perry. Transitional forms between the two conditions exist. The histopathological picture of the syndromes is not diagnostic and is indistringuishable from that of the lymphocytic infiltration of the skin described by Jessner and Kanof and from some of the chronic inflammatory dermatoses. The clinical picture in combination with the histopathological changes is, however, sufficiently characteristic to define the mucinosis of Steigleder and Perry as a clinical entity.
