This case series examines the rare clinical occurrence of cicatricial alopecia and alopecia areata coexisting within the same patient population. The authors present specific cases to illustrate the diagnostic challenges and potential overlapping features of these two distinct forms of hair loss. No major limitations or confounding factors were explicitly detailed in the provided text beyond the inherent constraints of a small case series design. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
