“…Follicular mucinosis as a histological finding by itself, does not denote a specific clinico-pathological entity and has been described as an incidental finding in several unrelated conditions like angiolymphoid hyperplasia,[56] familial reticuloendotheliosis,[7] spongiotic dermatitis,[1] and in diffuse papular and eczematous eruptions.

Three cases with single lesion of Alopecia mucinosa (follicular mucinosis) were treated with antileprosy treatment and showed rapid and complete resolution of the lesions with no recurrence on extended follow-up. Two children, a boy aged 14 years and a girl aged 12 years presented themselves, each, with a single hypopigmented, hypoesthetic patch on the face. Clinically leprosy was suspected, however, skin biopsy from both patients revealed follicular mucinosis as the only pathological finding, without any granulomas. Based on clinical suspicion both were started on multi drug therapy (MDT) for leprosy with complete resolution of the lesions. The third case, male, aged 22 years presented with a single erythematous, hypoesthetic plaque on the forehead. This lesion had been diagnosed as follicular mucinosis with folliculo-tropic mycosis fungoides, in the USA. He too responded completely within 3 months with rifampicin, ofloxacin, minocycline (ROM) treatment, which was given once monthly for a total of 6 months and remains free of disease since the past 1 year. Follicular mucinosis as the only pathology may be seen in facial lesions of clinically suspected leprosy in children and young adults. Based on histological findings these cannot be diagnosed as leprosy and will be considered as Alopecia mucinosa. These lesions, however, are always single and show rapid and complete response to antileprosy treatment. The authors suggest that in regions endemic for leprosy, such as India, single lesion Alopecia mucinosa on the face in children and young adults should be given antileprosy treatment.

We describe a vascular lesion that develops secondary to trauma (pseudotraumatic aneurysm) and study its relation to epithelioid hemangioma (EH)/angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE). Four lesions are described, all with a distinct history of trauma to the site from which they arose. They presented with masses in the subcutaneous tissue of the head. They were studied by immunohistochemical methods to identify their component cells. The lesions all demonstrated marked thickening of the wall of small and medium-sized arteries, with capillary vascular proliferations. One lesion demonstrated increased eosinophils. Myxoid changes were noted in all lesions. We hypothesize that these lesions may represent an early form of EH/ALHE.
