“…Traditionally, the presence of an inflammatory infiltrate was a histopathological finding that pointed away from androgenic alopeica, 35 but several authors have reported inflammatory infiltrate in up to 75% of patients with androgenic alopecia, without any clinical signs of inflammation in the physical exploration. 30,31,36---38 This infiltrate, mainly composed of lymphocytes, is usually found around the infundibulum, but it has also been observed around the fibrous streamers.…”

The diagnosis of disorders of the hair and scalp can generally be made on clinical grounds, but clinical signs are not always diagnostic and in some cases more invasive techniques, such as a biopsy, may be necessary. This 2-part article is a detailed review of the histologic features of the main types of alopecia based on the traditional classification of these disorders into 2 major groups: scarring and nonscarring alopecias. Scarring alopecias are disorders in which the hair follicle is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, a process that leads to permanent hair loss. In nonscarring alopecias, the follicles are preserved and hair growth can resume when the cause of the problem is eliminated. In the first part of this review, we describe the histologic features of the main forms of nonscarring alopecia. Since a close clinical-pathological correlation is essential for making a correct histologic diagnosis of alopecia, we also include a brief description of the clinical features of the principal forms of this disorder.
