This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This study introduced the C-CAT, a new assessment tool for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, and found that established treatments improved symptoms in most patients over six months.

This study found that dermatology consultations in a tertiary care center led to treatment changes in most cases, especially for complex conditions potentially linked to systemic disease.

This case report describes a 6 1/2-year-old girl with significant height growth and early pubic hair development.

This review discusses the hedgehog signaling pathway's role in cutaneous tumors and hematological disorders, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review covers the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and reports no new findings.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

This study found that high-frequency ultrasound was effective in localizing deep tumor margins in basal cell carcinoma, suggesting its utility in selecting therapeutic approaches.

More research is needed on CCCA in children, especially Black and Asian adolescents.

This review highlights that hirsutism in the GCC is influenced by genetic and lifestyle factors, cultural stigmas, and lacks adequate diagnostic tools, stressing the need for culturally tailored research and public health initiatives.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This case report highlights a rare instance of esophageal carcinoma in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, emphasizing the importance of endoscopic surveillance for malignant gastrointestinal tumors in these patients.

This symposium updated participants on the latest advances in understanding and managing hidradenitis suppurativa, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans and highlighting recent progress in therapies and epidemiology.

In this case report, treatment with corticosteroids improved both clinical symptoms and hormonal imbalances in a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, noting its prevalence in women of African descent and highlighting the need for further genetic research to improve treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the first documented case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome, where corticosteroids dramatically improved the patient's condition.

This study found that age is the most significant risk factor for hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, with additional risk factors including cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis and, among male recipients, prostatic hyperplasia.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This report highlights a case where intralesional cidofovir successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma without systemic toxicity, suggesting it may be a viable alternative to surgical excision.

In this study, no significant differences in hidradenitis suppurativa severity or testosterone levels were found between women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting PCOS does not predict poor prognosis in HS patients.

This study suggests that deregulation of sonic and desert hedgehog signaling in mouse skin can lead to altered epidermal stem cell activity and lesions similar to human basal cell carcinoma, indicating these cancers may originate outside the stem cell population.

This case study describes a 22-year-old woman with hirsutism who experienced symptom reversal through addressing nonclassical adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovaries alongside laser hair removal.

This case report highlights how a thorough history and examination led to the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis in a patient initially suspected to have diverticulosis, improving symptoms with phlebotomy treatment.

This review highlights that while sonidegib and vismodegib offer promising treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma, their use is often limited by treatment-emergent adverse events, which can be managed through protocol modifications and supportive interventions.

This case report highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes the need for earlier detection and proper management; it reports no clinical results.
