Surgical Perspective - A Commentary on: 'Bilateral Temporal Triangular Alopecia Simulating Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia in an Adult Woman: Case Report and Literature Review'

Alopecia triangular temporal (ATT) is a rare condition often mistaken for androgenetic alopecia or other hair disorders. The commentary on Lucca et al.'s case report emphasizes the importance of histopathological confirmation in suspected cases to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments. While trichoscopy is a useful tool, it may not reliably differentiate ATT from conditions like alopecia areata, trichotillomania, or advanced-stage frontal fibrosing alopecia. Surgical correction is the preferred treatment for confirmed ATT, but hair transplantation should be cautiously considered in other forms of alopecia to ensure safety and appropriate outcomes.
