This review discusses the characteristics and diagnostic challenges of fibrosing alopecia pattern distribution, proposing an algorithm for hair transplantation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that some patients with androgenetic alopecia may also exhibit clinical and histological features of inflammation and fibrosis, similar to those found in lichen planopilaris.

Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

This study hypothesizes that postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in ashy dermatosis may result from basal cell apoptosis, as evidenced by consistent histologic findings across nine patients.

Postmenopausal women may experience frontal hairline and eyebrow loss due to cicatricial fibrosis.

This study found that limb hair loss in frontal fibrosing alopecia is inflammatory and permanent, but lacks the classic scarring features seen in scalp alopecia, prompting potential misdiagnosis as alopecia areata.

This study highlights the importance of recognizing oral lesions in diagnosing syphilis, as illustrated by three reported cases.

This article questions whether frontal fibrosing alopecia and fibrosing androgeneic patterned hair loss are overlapping conditions or stages of the same process, calling for further research to clarify their underlying factors.

This study identified a new subtype of lichen planopilaris that mimics androgenetic alopecia, selectively affecting vellus hair follicles and presenting unique histopathological features.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

Some people may temporarily lose more hair in certain areas after a hair transplant.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

The study found that CK15 expression, representing hair follicle stem cell activity, was reduced or absent in scarred primary cicatricial alopecia lesions, suggesting stem cell damage may contribute to the scarring process.

This case report describes alopecia universalis-like hair loss occurring in two patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma, providing clinical, dermoscopic, and pathologic features to help differentiate it from alopecia areata universalis.

This case report describes two brothers with an unusual, possibly treatment-resistant inflammatory variant of androgenic alopecia, featuring follicular isthmic lymphocytic inflammation and diffuse central scalp hair loss.

This review discusses the histologic features of nonscarring alopecia and highlights the importance of clinical-pathological correlation for accurate diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that anti-TNF therapy-induced alopecia exhibits distinct clinical and histopathological features and can mimic psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata, with some patients improving with topical treatment.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors note that no therapeutic options tested, including corticosteroids, finasteride, and minoxidil, have shown clear benefits.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary scalp alopecia, focusing on scarring and non-scarring types, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes simplified diagnostic pathways and tissue processing techniques.

This study found that serum MIF levels were significantly higher in patients with extensive alopecia areata compared to those with mild alopecia areata and healthy individuals.

This study found that pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic mechanisms, specifically involving granzyme B and Fas pathways, are associated with chronic alopecia areata, indicating their potential role in the disease's persistence.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

This review discusses the various factors implicated in the etiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and notes the need for effective treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

This report diagnosed a 68-year-old man with comedonal folliculotropic mycosis fungoides based on clinical and histopathological findings, and found pegylated interferon alpha-2a with isotretinoin beneficial in reducing skin lesions.

This study analyzed skin biopsies from human monkeypox virus (hMPXV1) cases and found characteristic pustular stage features, including epidermal necrosis, shadow cell appearance, ballooned keratinocytes, and a dense inflammatory infiltrate, expanding histological knowledge crucial for understanding this disease and related Orthopoxvirus infections.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This case report describes a 47-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, treated with clobetasol propionate and oral minoxidil while advised to avoid hair transplantation.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.
