Comments

This healthy 6-year-old boy has a history of increased hair loss since age 2. He was evaluated following an episode when his brother pulled a large clump of hair from the back of the scalp which quickly regrow. Microscopic examination of his hair revealed a baggy stocking sign at the base of each hair.
