    TLDR An addax had skin cancer that spread to lymph nodes and was euthanized.
    A 13-year-old male addax (Addax nasomaculatus) exhibited symptoms of alopecia, erythema, and skin thickening, leading to a diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma through histopathology and immunohistochemical staining. The animal was euthanized 3 years later due to poor body condition, chronic dental disease, and lymphoma spread to other skin areas. Postmortem analysis confirmed metastasis to multiple lymph nodes but no other organs. Serologic tests showed no exposure to bovine leukemia virus (BLV). This case was notable as the first report of cutaneous lymphoma in a nondomestic bovid.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      The conversation discusses the tension theory as a cause of male pattern baldness (MPB), suggesting that scalp tension and reduced subcutaneous fat layer contribute to hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, scalp massages, and Botox.

      A 25-year-old with AGA experienced hair thinning and dandruff, stabilized with topical finasteride and minoxidil but saw minimal regrowth. They seek advice on styling and consider oral minoxidil and microneedling for denser hair.
