초록
Follicular mucinosis (FM) is an epithelial reaction pattern thatis characterized by the accumulation of mucinous material inthe epithelial hair follicle sheath and the sebaceous glands. Although various pharmacological agents have been employedin an attempt to treat FM, effective therapeuticoptions have remained elusive. We experienced a recalcitrantform of primary FM that we successfully treated withindomethacin and low-dose intralesional interferon alpha(IFN α), respectively. To the best of our knowledge, theprimary type of FM that responded to indomethacin andlow-dose IFN α, respectively, in a single case has not beenreported in the English medical literature.
