Nonscarring hair loss disorders: the basis for recognition and treatment.

Hair loss can be assessed objectively by examining a hair pull sample for stage of growth and hair shaft diameter, getting an estimate of average daily hair loss, and mapping scalp hair density. The history of the loss, the clinical picture, and the growth stage and diameter of the hair when lost all help to establish the type of loss. Hair regrowth occurs without treatment in most types of hair loss. There is as yet no effective treatment for pattern or senescent alopecia, although in women the loss can now be retarded somewhat.

Biopsy of the nail area.

It is as simple to biopsy around the nail as it is at any other site, and there are multiple lesions that deserve biopsy. Biopsy of the nail bed or nail matrix is avoided unless there is possible malignant change. Biopsy sites in the nail bed usually heal satisfactorily, but biopsy of the matrix is more likely to produce permanent deformity.

Multiple premalignant fibroepitheliomas of Pinkus: a case report and review of the literature.

An eighty-one year old man is presented who had multiple (four) premalignant fibroepitheliomas of Pinkus. A review of the literature and our case material revealed that multiple lesions account for 36 percent of the total cases reported. The clinical and pathologic features of these unusual variants of basal cell carcinoma are discussed.

Rapid method for Tzanck preparations.

Use of the Paragon Multiple Stain for Frozen Sections (PMS) for Tzanck preparations of herpetic lesions has several distinct advantages over procedures previously described; the method is rapid, simple, inexpensive, and results in hematoxylin-eosin-like staining. This enables a diagnosis to be made from a single, affected cell.
