research Multiple desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas with ossification and cholesterol deposition
A man had rare skin tumors with bone formation and cholesterol deposits.
research A rash diagnosis
The man's rash, hair loss, and vision issues were due to syphilis, not CMV.

Amyloid deposits linked to a type of protein may cause a unique pattern of hair loss by disrupting hair growth cycles.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a new type of scarring hair loss that resembles common baldness and an autoimmune skin disease.
