This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a rare 46, XX karyotype who presented with cerebellar infarct and polycythaemia, leading to further endocrine investigations after adrenal gland enlargement was found.

This case report describes a young man diagnosed with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis who had unique bilateral optic disc colobomas, a previously unreported association with this syndrome.

This article reviews fetal scalp hair formation and related disorders but reports no new research results.

In this study, researchers found that adult tinea capitis in Korea shows unique epidemiological and clinical features compared to children, which may lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

This study diagnosed a group of six girls with various ectodermal abnormalities, identifying cranio-skeletal malformations consistent with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome), and found heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene in two children.

This report reviews familial cases of aplasia cutis of the scalp, noting large irregular defects at the vertex or anterior along the sagittal suture in six families.

This case report describes Halo Scalp Ring, a rare type of non-scarring alopecia in newborns, emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis to avoid unnecessary tests and timely referral for potential hair restoration if scarring alopecia develops.

This case report highlights the importance of accurately diagnosing and treating tinea capitis in infants to prevent recurrences and therapeutic failures.

The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.

This article reviews tinea capitis as a common infectious scalp condition in children, reporting no new findings.

This case report describes an infant with congenital hyperinsulinism linked to a genetic mutation in the ABCC8 gene, illustrating challenges in managing persistent hypoglycemia despite medical interventions, leading to a near-total pancreatectomy.

MRI helps distinguish between pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, guides treatment for pediatric CNS tumors, and assesses rhinocerebral mucormycosis with a high mortality rate in transplanted patients.

Congenital triangular alopecia can occur outside the typical fronto-temporal region.

Tinea capitis can be quickly diagnosed and treated using dermoscopy to prevent hair damage.

This case report adds to the understanding of neurofibromatosis type 1 by documenting an Egyptian child with the condition alongside multiple unusual congenital anomalies, highlighting the importance of considering NF1 when these features are present.

This article highlights that a low suspicion for tinea capitis in adults with scaling and hair loss may delay diagnosis and treatment, urging confirmation through KOH, fungal culture, or biopsy.

This study found that among Chinese patients with alopecia areata, those with alopecia totalis or universalis had an earlier onset, longer disease duration, and more severe quality of life impact than those with patchy alopecia.

This article describes a rare case of infantile ring-shaped scalp alopecia and discusses differential diagnosis, approach, and preventive measures, but presents no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This abstract catalogs resources from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons but presents no research findings.

This article proposes a novel hypothesis that androgenetic alopecia may be mainly caused by skull bone expansion affecting blood supply to hair follicles rather than differences in individual follicle programming, and calls for more genetic research into skull development.

This case report describes the first recorded instance of congenital triangular alopecia in the mid-frontal scalp region, challenging the assumption that it is restricted to the frontotemporal area.

This case report details a rare instance of a giant cellular blue nevus on the scalp, highlighting its potential to damage underlying bone and hair follicles, alongside a separate alopecia areata lesion successfully treated with topical corticosteroid.

In this study, alopecia was more common among pregnant rhesus macaques compared to non-pregnant controls, and pregnancy was associated with increased hair cortisol levels.

Hair malformations may occur due to timing issues in hair development.

This study suggests that prenatal infusion of epidermal neural crest stem cells may improve certain neural markers and reduce cortical injury in a mouse model of methylazoxymethanol-induced malformations.

This study reports a case of Cushing disease caused by a rare giant pituitary macroadenoma in a 41-year-old woman, requiring additional treatment after unsuccessful surgery.

This report describes a rare case of congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis in a six-year-old boy with gingival hyperplasia, a coarse face, congenital hydronephrosis, and a heterozygous deletion on chromosome 17q12.
