title: Refractory acne keloidalis nuchae treated with radiotherapy.
abstract: Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is difficult to treat, and the clinical response is usually poor. Few reports have been published about scarring alopecia treated with radiotherapy (RT). We report a case of AKN that had been refractory to various other treatments but which responded to RT with excellent clinical and cosmetic results.
