We prospectively obtained trichoscopy-guided scalp biopsies from flame hairs in trichotillomania, alopecia areata, traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (1 case each). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Flame hairs were detected in 100% of the acute chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced alopecias, where they were the predominant hair abnormality. They were also found in trichotillomania (55%), alopecia areata (21%), traction alopecia (4%) and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (3%). On pathology, they corresponded to distorted hair shafts. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; The flame hair is a type of broken hair which can be seen in various hair loss disorders. It results from traumatic pulling of anagen hairs or from anagen arrest due to inflammation or drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000438995","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,1]],"date-time":"2015-09-01T21:01:35Z","timestamp":1441141295000},"page":"105-109","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Flame Hair"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0704-7085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariya","family":"Miteva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5516-4043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonella","family":"Tosti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/00015555-1674"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1984.01650400031009"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2006.04.058"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2008.03692.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2012.04401.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000362810"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-0960.2012.00946.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1087-0024.2003.00807.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nm.3645"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2011.3428"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2014.04.069"}],"container-title":["Skin Appendage Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/438995","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/438995","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:45:41Z","timestamp":1745430341000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000438995"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000438995","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-9195","2296-9160"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-9195","type":"print"},{"value":"2296-9160","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
