Temporal Triangular Alopecia Journals

Triangular temporal alopecia was first reported by in the year 1905. More than 50 cases have been reported so far.  Temporal triangular alopecia/congenital triangular alopecia may be present at birth or may be acquired during the first decade of life.  Alopecic patch in the fronto-temporal scalp of a child is the usual scenario, however, lesions rarely occur outside the temporal area or may present during adulthood. The lancet-shaped lesions, few centimetres in width, either unilateral or bilateral, and oriented so with the tip of the "lancet" superiorly and posteriorly are the cardinal features.  Lesions appear hairless, but characteristically, very fine vellus hairs can be seen with magnification and trichoscopy.  Accordingly, the diagnosis of triangular temporal alopecia is clinical. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for this condition and the patches of alopecia persist for life. Surgical excision and hair grafting have been suggested. Minoxidil has also been used effectively, however, with a relapse soon following treatment cessation.
