Focally extensive alopecia affecting the distal limbs is a common clinical finding in rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) colonies and is both a regulatory and colony-health concern. We performed diagnostic examinations including physical exams, bloodwork, skin scrapes, surface cytology, and surface bacterial-fungal cultures on 17 rhesus macaques with this presentation of alopecia. Skin biopsies from alopecic skin obtained from each macaque were compared with those of normal skin from the same animal.

Microscopic examination of hair shafts revealed focal areas of loss of architecture, swelling, and apparent softening of the medulla, followed by longitudinal (length-wise) splitting and breakage of the hair shaft.

Trichotillomania (TTM) is an impulse disorder, in which patients chronically pull hair from the scalp and/or other sites. Very early onset of hair pulling in children under the age of 6 may be more benign and self-limiting than the more common syndrome of late childhood onset hair pulling. While far more women and adolescent girls appear for treatment, survey studies suggest chronic hair pulling also occurs in males.
