    Studysummary In this case report, the authors identified that sebaceous gland atrophy, traditionally associated with psoriatic or drug-induced alopecia, can also appear in seborrheic dermatitis, complicating the histopathological evaluation of alopecia biopsies and emphasizing the need to consider seborrheic dermatitis in differential diagnoses.
