Why is it important?
Lipedematous alopecia is a rare disease that can easily be misdiagnosed as alopecia areata. Moreover, palpation in the dermatological examination of patients with alopecia is very important.
Perspectives
Writing this case was a great pleasure as it is a very rare disease and I hope it can lead accurate diagnosis of real lipedematous alopecia.
