INTRODUCTION
Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, could affect the head and neck region, mainly manifesting in a linear pattern. Localized scleroderma of the scalp presenting as a circumscribed alopecic patch has been described as an unusual clinical entity. We present a new case of circumscribed morphea of the scalp.
CASE REPORT
We present the case of a 33-year-old man with a single cicatricial alopecic patch of the scalp. The main clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological findings are described.
CONCLUSION
We suggest considering scalp morphea in the differential diagnosis of mono-lesional cicatricial alopecia involving the scalp.
