Primary Follicular Mucinosis
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 8, Issue 6, June-2017 1303 ISSN 2229-5518 Case Report Primary Follicular Mucinosis: A Case Report From Saudi Arabia With Successful Treatment And Literature Review SalaimanAlsaiari1 AwadhAlAmri2 AmerAlmuqati Ibrahim Allihibi ABSTRACT: Background:Follicular mucinosis is an uncommon inflammatory disorder that characteristically presents as clearly defined, erythematous plaques or papules, with follicular projections, superficial scaling, and alopecia in terminal hair bearing areas, characterized histologically by mucin accumulation in pilosebaceous units (follicular epithelium and sebaceous glands) . The condition is generally divided into primary (idiopathic) and secondary forms in association with several conditions including benign and malignant diseases. There are many local and systemic treatments. Main observations: We report a case of 15 years old male with primary follicular mucinosis treated effectively by intralesional steroid injections. Conclusions: This is a new case of Primary follicular mucinosis from Saudi Arabia was treated successfully with intralesional corticosteroids without relapse. KEYWORDS:follicular mucinosis, intralesional corticosteroids, treatment. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTIONIJSER Follicular mucinosis is a rare condition, of unknown cause, which affects all races, ages and both sexes.1,2It is defined as the accumulation of mucin in the follicular epithelium and sebaceous glands.3,5 It was initially described in 1957 by Pinkus who named it -

S. Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India Abstract Follicular mucinosis occurring along with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophils (ALHE) has been described in a 49-year-old male. The patient presented with pruritic hyperpigmented papules and nodules on the vertex and right parietal scalp. There was no any other complaint. Histopathological examination from one of the papule showed prominent blood vessels in the dermis lined by plump histiocytoid endothelial cells that were surrounded by a dense lymphoid infiltrate with numerous eosinophils; these findings are typical of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. Features of follicular mucinosis were observed in the same section with 3 hyperplastic follicular infundibula containing pools of mucin in the infundibular epithelium. The concurrent occurrence of these 2 distinct histopathological patterns in the same biopsy specimen has been reported rarely. Key Words: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia, eosinophilia, follicular mucinosis, scalp What was known? perivascular area and other parts of the dermis. -

Differential Diagnosis of the Scalp Hair Folliculitis
Acta Clin Croat 2011; 50:395-402 Review DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE SCALP HAIR FOLLICULITIS Liborija Lugović-Mihić1, Freja Barišić2, Vedrana Bulat1, Marija Buljan1, Mirna Šitum1, Lada Bradić1 and Josip Mihić3 1University Department of Dermatovenereology, 2University Department of Ophthalmology, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Center, Zagreb; 3Department of Neurosurgery, Dr Josip Benčević General Hospital, Slavonski Brod, Croatia SUMMARY – Scalp hair folliculitis is a relatively common condition in dermatological practice and a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to the lack of exact guidelines. Generally, inflammatory diseases of the pilosebaceous follicle of the scalp most often manifest as folliculitis. There are numerous infective agents that may cause folliculitis, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as many noninfective causes. Several noninfectious diseases may present as scalp hair folli- culitis, such as folliculitis decalvans capillitii, perifolliculitis capitis abscendens et suffodiens, erosive pustular dermatitis, lichen planopilaris, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, etc. The classification of folliculitis is both confusing and controversial. There are many different forms of folliculitis and se- veral classifications. According to the considerable variability of histologic findings, there are three groups of folliculitis: infectious folliculitis, noninfectious folliculitis and perifolliculitis. The diagno- sis of folliculitis occasionally requires histologic confirmation and cannot be based -

Abstract Skin and subcutaneous conditions affect an estimated 1.9 billion people at any given time and remain the fourth leading cause of non-fatal disease burden worldwide. Access to dermatology care is limited due to a shortage of dermatologists, causing long wait times and leading patients to seek dermatologic care from general practitioners. However, the diagnostic accuracy of general practitioners has been reported to be only 0.24-0.70 (compared to 0.77-0.96 for dermatologists), resulting in over- and under-referrals, delays in care, and errors in diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we developed a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of skin conditions for clinical cases (skin photographs and associated medical histories). -
