Alopecia totalis (AT) is a cosmetically debilitating chronic disease characterized by non‐scarring hair loss of the entire scalp. The clinical course of AT is highly unpredictable, and effective durable treatment options are limited. The resolution of alopecia has been reported post‐autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; however, no cases of AT remission following chemotherapy alone have been described. Herein, we present a case of complete remission of AT following chemotherapy for B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a pediatric patient.
