Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides
Introduction

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides is a variant of classic MF, where tumor cells infiltrate especially follicular epithelium. The epidermis is usually spared.

Histology

In the secondary mucinous alopecia the follicular epithelium contains large amounts of mucin and tumor cells destroy the folllicle. See the corresponding chapter.

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides without follicular mucinosis is rare. The follicles are infiltrated and destroyed by tumorous cells. This form is rare and differential diagnosis against some other forms of alopecia is difficult.
