INTRODUCTION
Follicular mucinosis, also referred to as alopecia mucinosa, was
initially reported as localized alopecia histopathologically
characterized by the deposition of mucin within hair follicles1. The disease is classified as idiopathic follicular
mucinosis, which is not associated with other cutaneous or
extracutaneous diseases, and as lymphoma-associated follicular
mucinosis, which is associated with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome2. Idiopathic follicular mucinosis commonly appears as
follicular papules or indurated plaques 3. We herein
report a case of idiopathic follicular mucinosis showing characteristic
dermoscopic findings.
