The article presents clinical observation of a rare variant of scarring alopecia - pseudopelade Brock. The presented case demonstrates the important role of detailed examination and close attention to patients with long-term foci of hair loss in the absence of positive dynamics from the therapy, maintaining clinical alertness and conducting a broad differential diagnostic search to exclude rare dermatoses, and also confirms the need for histological examination of skin biopsies to verify the diagnosis.
