Alopecic Plaques in a Cook

Nodular-cystic lesions on a congenital alopecic plaque.

We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with no relevant medical history who presented with asymptomatic nodularcystic lesions on a congenital alopecic plaque on the scalp. The lesions had developed slowly and progressively over the previous 5 years. The patient reported that her family physician had occasionally incised and drained some of the lesions.

In the vertebrate retina, lateral inhibition can modulate the direct pathway for light-evoked signals (photoreceptors to bipolar cells to ganglion cells) both via horiz...
