| Abstract |
Lipedematous alopecia (LA) is a rare disorder clinically characterized by a thick boggy scalp and varying severity of hair loss, which primarily occurs in black female adults. In this study, we reported one male adult Chinese diagnosed with lipedematous alopecia for the first time. A Chinese male, aged 20 years old, admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital for Skin Diseases was diagnosed with LA. Clinical, histological and imaging data were collected and analyzed. Literature review was performed. Skin biopsy and pathological examination revealed the signs of increased subcutaneous adipose tissue, slight perivascular mononuclear infiltration into superficial dermis, adipocyte disruption and mucin deposition. CT scan demonstrated diffuse thickening of subcutaneous tissue in the occipital region. The symptoms were not significantly alleviated after 6-month combined therapy of prednisone and acupuncture. We reported one male Chinese of LA, who was the first case reported in China. Clinical and pathological findings of this case deepened the understanding of LA. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 December 2023.
All research outputs
#17,002,883
of 24,993,752 outputs
Outputs from SpringerPlus
#960
of 1,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,187
of 327,413 outputs
Outputs of similar age from SpringerPlus
#85
of 146 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,993,752 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,867 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,413 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 146 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
