[Androgenetic alopecia in the male. Recent developments].

In this review male-pattern baldness [androgenetic alopoecia (AA)] is discussed. AA is characterized as a physiological process. Some of the reactions that take place in its pathogenesis and many of the substrates involved in androgen metabolism are now known, but the question as to the androgen stimulus leads to retrograde transformation of the hair follicles only in skin of the parieto-occipital scalp can still not be answered. Specific antiandrogens for the treatment of AA are not available for either topical application or systemic administration. Minoxidil seems to have a positive effect in the treatment of AA but in most cases the cosmetic result is not satisfactory.

Pseudopelade of Brocq.

41 cases with scarring alopecia seen from 1979 to 1983 were analyzed and differentiated. After exclusion of 7 cases with lichen planopilaris, of 5 cases with discoid lupus erythematosus, of 2 cases with scleroderma, and of 1 case with folliculitis decalvans, there remained 26 cases. The clinical histological and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) findings in these patients suggest that pseudopelade of Brocq might be a distinct disease unrelated to other known types of scarring alopecia. The histopathology is characteristic, and shows the following features: little or only moderate lymphocytic infiltrate, absence of significant follicular plugging, and absence or decrease of sebaceous glands. DIF is negative, occasionally only IgM can be found at the basement membrane. The course of the disease is slowly progressive (in spite of little or no visible erythema), becoming eventually stationary after several years and resulting in a more or less severe permanent hair loss.

[Post-traumatic scleroedema adultorum (Buschke)].

A 48-year-old male developed an induration of the skin of the neck a few days after a blunt trauma to this region had occurred. A diagnosis of scleredema adultorum (Buschke) could be established 3 years later. In view of the history and the lack of other diseases thought to be related to the elicitation of scleredema, a traumatic origin of the skin condition is probable.
