  • Title: Purely follicular mycosis fungoides without mucinosis: report of two cases with review of the literature.
    Author: Monopoli A, Annessi G, Lombardo GA, Baliva G, Girolomoni G.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2003 Mar; 48(3):448-52. PubMed ID: 12637929.
    Abstract:
    Follicular lesions can either associate with typical patch-/plaque-type mycosis fungoides or, more rarely, be the only clinical manifestation of the disease. We describe 2 adult patients who presented with alopecia and disseminated follicular erythematous papules, and comedones and cysts, respectively. In both patients, histology showed a folliculotropic infiltrate of atypical lymphocytes that spared the epidermis, in the absence of follicular mucinosis. Molecular genetic analysis confirmed the oligo/monoclonal nature of the T-cell infiltrate. Reported cases of purely follicular mycosis fungoides without mucinosis are reviewed.
