Abstract
Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a rare inflammatory condition that progresses from papules and pustules to nodules and abscesses, ultimately leading to cicatricial alopecia. It primarily affects African men between the ages of 15 and 62, with exceptionally low prevalence in children. A milder form, described as “alopecic and aseptic nodules of the scalp” (AANS), presents as aseptic nodules associated with non‐scarring alopecia and has a good prognosis. We report two atypical cases of DCS in Hispanic pediatric patients: an 18‐month‐old female infant and an 11‐year‐old male child who had a rapid and favorable clinical resolution consistent with AANS.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
