Fig 1 Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor–related hair and scalp change. A, Patient 1, 49-year-old woman had painful, erythematous papulopustule and plaques with crusts and hair loss over scalp after taking gefitinib 250 mg/d for 2 months. B, Plucked anagen hairs from patient 1 showed degeneration of distal part of root sheaths (red arrow) and distal split of remaining proximal part (blue arrowhead), giving “arrow” appearance microscopically. C, Scalp biopsy specimen in patient 3 showed atrophic outer root sheath (more obvious in distal third part). There is cleftlike area over outer root sheath (arrowheads), and distal part from cleft showed atrophy of outer root sheath that is compatible with findings in B (red arrow).
