MeSH definition : Mucoid states characterized by the elevated deposition and accumulation of mucin (mucopolysaccharides)
in dermal tissue. The fibroblasts are responsible for the production of acid mucopolysaccharides
(GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS) in the ground substance of the connective tissue system. When
fibroblasts produce abnormally large quantities of mucopolysaccharides as hyaluronic
acid, chondroitin sulfate, or heparin, they accumulate in large amounts in the dermis.;
MeSH synonym : mucinosis;
MeSH annotation : elevated deposition of mucin in skin;
