A 14-year-old male patient presented with focal masses of thick, adherent, plate like, yellow-brown scales, attached to the hair shafts, predominantly affecting the fronto-parietal area and vertex of the scalp. The underlying scalp had thick, erythematous plaques with fine, non greasy, silvery-white scaling with noncicatricial alopecia. Potassium hydroxide examination of scales and hair and culture for fungus was negative.

The disease may be secondary to any skin condition that primarily affects the scalp, including seborrheic dermatitis. Its pathogenesis remains uncertain. We aim to analyze the epidemiological and clinical profiles of patients with pityriasis amiantacea to better understand treatment responses. We identified seven cases of pityriasis amiantacea and a female predominance in a sample of 63 pediatric patients with seborrheic dermatitis followed for an average of 20.4 months. We reported a mean age of 5.9 years. Five patients were female, with a mean age of 9 years. All patients were successfully treated with topic ketoconazole.
