Definition
English
:
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.
