“…Decreased hair density, hairs broken at different lengths, short hairs with trichoptilosis ("split ends"), irregular coiled hairs, upright re-growing hairs and black dots were described (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)19). In a recent case study, Peralta & Morais (17) identified extravasations as an additional trichoscopy feature of TTM.…”

Differential diagnosis of trichotillomania is often difficult in clinical practice. Trichoscopy (hair and scalp dermoscopy) effectively supports differential diagnosis of various hair and scalp diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing trichotillomania. The study included 370 patients (44 with trichotillomania, 314 with alopecia areata and 12 with tinea capitis). Statistical analysis revealed that the main and most characteristic trichoscopic findings of trichotillomania are: irregularly broken hairs (44/44; 100% of patients), v-sign (24/44; 57%), flame hairs (11/44; 25%), hair powder (7/44; 16%) and coiled hairs (17/44; 39%). Flame hairs, v-sign, tulip hairs, and hair powder were newly identified in this study. In conclusion, we describe here specific trichoscopy features, which may be applied in quick, non-invasive, in-office differential diagnosis of trichotillomania.

“…This psychiatric disorder is characterized by repetitive, intentional behavior [2]. It affects 1% of the general population [3] and is more frequent in children than in adults [4]. This disorder mainly affects the scalp, but all body hair is affected, including eyelashes [5,6], eyebrows [7], even the beard [8] and the pubic hairs [2,7].…”

“…However, in severe cases, hair loss in vertex area creates characteristic “tonsure trichotillomania.”[4] The common trichoscopic features of trichotillomania are decreased hair density, hairs broken at different lengths, short hair with trichoptilosis ("split ends"), irregular coiled hairs, upright regrowing hairs, and black dots. [56] In a recent study, some novel trichoscopic features characteristic of trichotillomania were described like flame hair, v-sign, tulip hair, and hair powder. [7] In our patients, we noticed hair broken at different lengths, coiled hair, black dots, and v-sign.…”

Extensive tonsure pattern trichotillomania-trichoscopy and histopathology aid to the diagnosis

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Trichotillomania manifests as a compulsive desire to pull out own hair. The clinical presentation of trichotillomania is usually characteristic, with varying length hair distributed within areas of alopecia on otherwise normal scalp. In severe forms, tonsure pattern of baldness results, involving the entire scalp sparing the hair at the margins. Extensive tonsure pattern trichotillomania is rare and difficult to differentiate from other nonscarring alopecias on clinical grounds alone. Trichoscopy and histopathology of scalp play a corroborative role in definitive diagnosis. We hereby report two cases of extensive tonsure pattern trichotillomania, with special reference to their trichoscopic and histopathological features.
