Temporal Triangular Alopecia—Clinical and Dermoscopic Features of a Rare Entity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present the case of an 18-year-old female patient who attended the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic for a routine total body examination. Clinical evaluation revealed a triangular, non-scarring alopecic patch in the left temporal region, which the patient reported had been present since birth. Based on clinical and trichoscopic findings, a diagnosis of temporal triangular alopecia (TTA) was established. Given the non-progressive nature of the condition and the absence of any impact on quality of life, no treatment was initiated at the patient's request.
