Abstract
Alopecia is unusual at presentation in children with cancer. Alopecia neoplastica has been described in adults with metastatic carcinoma and melanoma. Additionally, alopecia may accompany lymphoma as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. We describe a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who presented with a distinct pattern of alopecia involving the scalp. The child had not received any chemotherapy prior.
