    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Trichology

    Background:

    • Congenital temporal triangular alopecia (CTTA) is a rare, often treatment-resistant hair loss condition.
    • Accurate differentiation from other alopecias, like alopecia areata, is essential to prevent unnecessary treatments and adverse effects.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of CTTA are presented, highlighting diagnostic challenges.
    • One patient received prolonged, incorrect treatment for alopecia areata before a CTTA diagnosis.
    • The second patient received a prompt CTTA diagnosis during the initial examination, avoiding treatment.

    Findings:

    • CTTA may be more common than previously believed.
    • Misdiagnosis can occur when physicians are unfamiliar with CTTA's clinical presentation.

    Implications:
