This report describes a case of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its distinction from other forms of lichen planopilaris and pattern hair loss.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

This study found that vertex accentuation is the second most common pattern of female pattern hair loss in Asian women, following the diffuse type.

The authors observed that the patterned melanoderma on the hairless scalp of fair-skinned Caucasian men with androgenic alopecia resembled similar patterns seen on facial skin.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy in Saudi Arabia diagnosed with IFAP syndrome, highlighting its distinct characteristics and distinguishing features from similar conditions, and notes successful genetic confirmation of the disorder.

This case report highlights an unusual trichoscopic appearance in alopecia areata due to dithranol staining, which may obscure typical patterns and reveal atypical vascular features in the interfollicular spaces.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and clinical challenges of female pattern hair loss in PCOS patients but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research and multidisciplinary care.

The researchers reported that one-third of women with female pattern hair loss in their study had occipital region involvement, which is important for diagnosing and planning treatment, including hair restoration surgery, as the occipital region is often used as a normal reference.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had higher hair density on the occipital scalp, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This study reported that in men with androgenic alopecia, a distinct subclinical hyperpigmentation pattern was observed in the scalp, associated with baldness severity and possibly linked to local melanin production by pilosebaceous units.

This paper presents a case of a young male with a family history, showing overlap between ulerythema ophryogenes and keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, affecting both eyebrows and scalp with cicatricial patchy alopecia.

This study found that among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, 100% showed dermoscopic elements suggestive of the condition, with perifollicular erythema often indicating disease activity.

This study found that onychomatricoma can fully mimic the nail unit and differentiate toward the nail bed and isthmus, distinguishing it from other pilar tumors.

In this study, the researchers reported that early diagnosis and treatment of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may arrest or potentially reverse disease progression, though some patients experienced continued hair loss.

This report describes a case of a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with linear alopecia areata, characterized by patchy hair loss and associated with unique hyperpigmented skin lesions.

This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that early initiation of treatment in fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may lead to a more favorable outcome, as evident in some patients experiencing arrested disease progression and hair regrowth.

In this study, researchers found that adults with alopecia areata exhibited trichoscopic features of empty follicular openings and tulip hair, while children showed more honeycomb pigment patterns and pohlpinkus constriction on their scalp lesions.

In this study, the Hamilton-Norwood subtype of female pattern hair loss was associated with early onset and polycystic ovary syndrome, while the Ludwig pattern was more common overall.

This case report describes a one-year-old boy with combined occipito-linear and triangular fronto-temporo-parietal alopecia and discusses the possibility of these lesions being a variant of neonatal occipital alopecia.

This study found that female pattern hair loss is more common than previously thought among Indian women, with the most frequent pattern being diffuse hair loss over the vertex.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among premenopausal women in Algeria.

In this study, researchers reported three cases of alopecia areata patients experiencing a rare targetoid pattern of hair regrowth, a phenomenon originally described in 1988.

This study identified vertex accentuation as the second most common pattern of female pattern hair loss in Asian women.

This study found that histopathologic features such as a catagen/telogen shift, melanin in fibrous tracts, and small dystrophic follicles can help differentiate alopecia areata from pattern hair loss in the absence of peribulbar infiltrates.

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

This study observed that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution shows varied histological features and may resemble lichen planopilaris with initial diffuse distribution, potentially leading to scarring alopecia.

This review reports no new clinical results but discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution as a distinct scarring alopecia with characteristics of both androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris.
