| dc.description.abstract | Pili multigemini is a rare hair shaft defect. Simply it means the presence of several hairs in a single follicle; each hair has its own inner root sheath and the hairs are surrounded by a common outer root sheath. Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a distinct type of cicatricial alopecia which is currently classified as a subtype of lichen planopilaris, characterized by inflammation and fibrosis with accelerated hair loss in the distribution of typical male or female pattern hair loss. We present 25- and 26-year-old brothers with increase hair loss of two years duration. The clinical and histological examination of the scalp area revealed the presence of pili multigemini hair follicles defect combined with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, involving the vertex area of the scalp in both patients. In our opinion the hair follicle defect pili multigemeni may have an impact over the pathogenesis of the fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in our two cases. | en_US |
