research Nevus Psiloliparus: Newly Described Histopathological Features from Transverse Sections
Nevus psiloliparus, a rare fatty tissue nevus associated with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis, was studied for its histopathological features in an 11-year-old girl. This condition, often presenting as congenital alopecia, showed a near-complete absence of mature hair follicles while preserving arrector pili muscles and mature adipocytes in the dermis. The study suggested that the pathogenesis might be linked to mosaic mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 1. Transverse sections revealed "shadow" follicular units with loosely arranged collagen and a scarcity of elastic fibers.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
