Traction alopecia is a protracted form of hair loss resulting from persistent tension on the hair follicle . We report a case of a 9-year-old African American girl who presented with extensive scalp ulceration and alopecia 11 days after placement of a synthetic hair braid. Over a period of months, with consistent wound care and low-tension hairstyling, most of the hair regrew. We propose that the ulceration and hair loss in this case represents an acute variant of traction alopecia due to pressure-induced ischemia and necrosis.

Trichotillomania is a disorder of chronic hair pulling classified as an impulse control disorder that causes essential stress and leads to difficulties in functionality and severe alopecia. This is the case of a 43-year-old male without a serious medical history who was hospitalized with a large ulcerated plaque with smooth margins covering almost the entire occipital area. He received antibiotic and antidepressant treatment, after which he appeared to be improving.

Anti-nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) 1 antibodies are uncommonly detected in routine antinuclear antibody (ANA) screening. We present the case of a 65-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing golimumab biotherapy who developed lupus-like symptoms including photosensitivity, fatigue, weakness, myalgias, alopecia, oral ulcers, and worsening of arthritis. Elevated serum levels of NuMA-1 antibodies were detected using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on HEp-2 cells with a titer of 1:1000, but no other ANA patterns were associated.

Objective: Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) staining patterns can provide useful information in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In our study, we examined the frequency of ANA staining patterns in disease-related features in childhood-onset SLE patients.
Methods: ANA and its staining patterns were assessed in childhood-onset SLE patients.
