Anterolateral Leg Alopecia: Clinical, Histopathological, and Dermoscopic Features.

Anterolateral alopecia of the legs or peroneal alopecia is a benign entity presenting with symmetrical, non-scaring well-demarcated patches of hair loss on the anterior and lateral aspects of the legs. It is prevalent in men with a prevalence rate of 35%. The condition has rarely been encountered in literature due to its benign course. This report highlights the significance of dermoscopic examination in diagnosing anterolateral alopecia of the legs. It can be considered an alternative to histopathology in those who refuse a biopsy.
