Follicular mucinosis (alopecia mucinosa)
Introduction

This process is characterized by accumulation of mucin within follicular epithelium. Primary form is a benign disease, leading to permanent alopecia. Secondary follicular mucinosis is associated with lymphoma, most often T lymphoma (mycosis fungoides). Differenciation of primary and secondary forms may be difficult, especially in early stages of the disease.
