This case report describes a unique instance of an otherwise healthy infant with phylloid terminal hair nevus, a form of hypomelanosis without extracutaneous abnormalities.

This case report describes two instances of naevoid bundle hair on the scalp, where multiple hairs group from separate follicles into a single sheath and show abnormal reactivity to keratin antibodies.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

This report highlights a 7-year-old girl misdiagnosed with pediculosis capitis, emphasizing the potential severe psychological or physiological consequences of confusing hair casts with nits.

This report presents a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in an elderly Indian male, adding to the approximately 450 cases documented worldwide, but introduces no new results about the condition.

This report describes a pancreatic mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinoma in a cat, underscoring its diagnostic complexity and the need to consider it in diagnoses of pancreatic masses with mixed features.

In this study, Kerion Celsi, a deep fungal scalp infection, is highlighted as being rare in neonates but more common in children over 3 years, requiring medical treatment with antifungals and antibiotics to prevent scarring alopecia and distinguish it from bacterial infections.

This article reviews the characteristics, common locations, and causes of epidermoid cysts, noting that surgical excision is the standard treatment, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a 24-year-old male with acquired distal trichorrhexis nodosa showed significant improvement after avoiding harmful hair treatments and using a repair shampoo alongside biotin and zinc supplements.

This review discusses Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting a relatively mild case and suggesting that it may be a more benign and possibly reversible condition with treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that pseudopelade is an autosomal dominant condition, distinct from other forms of alopecia, characterized by atrophic hair follicle loss and notable familial association.

In this report, the potential connection between Merkel cell carcinoma and Curvularia lunata infection in an elderly patient is discussed, highlighting the need for precise diagnostic methods and suggesting that surgery combined with the antifungal voriconazole may be a viable treatment option.

This review discusses the interrelationship between the anterior pituitary's adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and the adrenal cortex, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This study describes the anatomy of arrector pili muscles in scalp hair follicular units, proposing a model where a single muscle structure is shared by all follicles within a unit.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

In this case report, a 14-year-old boy was diagnosed with nevus comedonicus, a condition characterized by dilated follicular openings filled with keratin, presenting in a Blaschkoid pattern; treatment with topical tretinoin 0.1% cream was recommended.

This study identified common and previously unlisted adverse events associated with four anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for migraine prevention, highlighting a varied safety profile post-marketing.

This report describes a case of widespread Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus in a 15-year-old woman with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, involving both eccrine ostia and hair follicle infundibula.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

This study found that Cidea is critical for regulating lipid storage and sebum secretion in sebaceous glands, with its deficiency causing hair issues and impaired skin functions in mice.

This study discovered a novel mechanism by which germ stem cells exit their niche in C. elegans, involving thin membranous protrusions from adjacent somatic gonad cells.

The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl who developed kerion celsi from an untreated scalp infection, likely contracted from a guinea pig, leading to significant hair loss and the need for a wig.

This report discusses two cases of porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus and porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus, suggesting they may represent a single clinical entity, but reports no therapeutic outcomes.

This paper reports a rare case of focal mucinosis in a 58-year-old woman's eyelid, initially resembling a nevus, successfully treated with surgical excision with no recurrence over a three-year follow-up.

UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with Netherton's syndrome, highlighting the identification of the tricorrhexis invaginata hair defect using a photographically illustrated scalp biopsy, which had not been visually documented before.
