Follicular mucinosis and follicular mycosis fungoides: clinicopathological evaluation of seven cases

Abstract

The findings supported the opinion that follicular mucinosis is an important finding seen in mycosis fungoides. There can be important differences concerning the amount of infiltration and degree of atypia. In cases where the density of infiltration associated with follicular mucinosis is not diagnostic for MF, there can be progression over time. Long-term follow up is necessary in such cases where the differential diagnosis is difficult.
