Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 9-year-old girl presented with a 2-year history of doughnut-shaped hair loss on the frontal scalp, resembling the symmetric distribution of Blaschko`s lines. Physical examination showed an alopecic patch with mild scalp induration. Histopathology revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the perifollicular dermis and subcutaneous lobules with abundant mucin deposition, consistent with a diagnosis of lupus erythematosus panniculitis. Three cases of linear lupus erythematosus panniculitis of the scalp presenting as alopecia along Blaschko`s lines have been documented in Korean dermatologic literature. However, there have been no reports of doughnut-shaped alopecia until now. Herein, we present an interesting case of a pediatric patient with a unique feature of doughnut-shaped alopecia along Blaschko`s lines.
