모낭성 점액증이 동반된 호산구성 농포성 모낭염 = A Case of Eosinophilic Pustular Folliculitis with Follicular Mucinosis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji`s disease) is characterized by inflammatory infiltration of the pilosebaceous units by numerous eosinophils. Clinically, recurrent crops of papules and plaques studded with sterile follicular pustules can be seen. Follicular mucinosis is a reaction pattern which occurs in the follicular epithelium and is characterized by a mucinous degeneration of the outer sheath of follicles and sebaceous glands. The condition can occur in various diseases. Herein, we report a case of a 46-year old woman who presented with a recurrent episode of papules and follicular pustules, revealing inflammatory infiltration in and around the pilosebaceous units and prominent eosinophils, in addition to follicular mucinosis.
