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

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.

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.
