Abstract
- We report a case of follicular mucinosis which oecurred in a 28-year old female. She had an adult fist-sized erythemlatous indurated infiltrative plaque with an ill-defined border on the left cheek area. Histopatholcigical findings, including mucin stains, showed characteristic reticular degeneration and cystic spece formation in hair follicles and sebaceous glands with mucinous degeneration and infiltration of abundant eosinophiles. The present case should be differentiated from plaque type eosinophilic pustular folliculitis clinically and histologically.
