RESUMO
Epithelial mucinosis (follicular mucinosis) is a reactive histological pattern characterized by the accumulation of mucin in the infundibular, follicular, and sebaceous epithelium, that may occur in multiple skin conditions and cannot be considered a specific disease. Alopecia mucinosa is a clinicopathological entity with distinctive skin lesions, mucin deposits in the hair follicles and periadnexal lymphoid infiltrates. Three types of mucinous alopecia have been described: idiopathic, persistent or benign chronic, and associated to lymphoma. For some authors, these types of mucinous alopecia are not independent diseases, but rather represent variants of mycosis fungoides with epithelial mucinosis.

La mucinosis epitelial (mucinosis folicular) es un patrón histológico reactivo caracterizado por la acumulación de mucina en el epitelio infundibular, folicular o sebáceo, que puede ocurrir en múltiples procesos cutáneos, y que no puede ser considerada una enfermedad específica. La alopecia mucinosa es una entidad clinicopatológica con lesiones cutáneas distintivas, depósitos de mucina en los folículos pilosos e infiltrados linfoides perianexiales. Se han descrito tres tipos de alopecia mucinosa: idiopática, persistente o crónica benigna y asociada a linfoma. Para algunos autores, estos tipos de alopecia mucinosa no son enfermedades independientes, sino que representan variantes de micosis fungoides con mucinosis epitelial
