Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 (a) Patchy hair loss in the frontotemporal area. (b) Erythematous papular lesions were seen on the forehead and periocular area. (c) Epibulbar choristoma on the left eyeball. (d) Eyelid coloboma.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A) Biopsy specimen from the scalp showed no significant dermal, perifollicular, or subcutaneous fibrosis. The thickness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue was increased with lobular proliferation of mature subcutaneous fatty tissue and fewer hair follicles (H&E ×40). (B) Magnetic resonance imaging reveals an oval image suggestive of a lipoma, about 2 cm sized, in left parietal paramedian area of the scalp (arrow). No abnormal signal intensity lesion in the brain parenchyme.
