[Frontal fibrosing alopecia: A case report].

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) was first proposed by Kossard in 1994 with the term “postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia”. FFA is an acquired scarring alopecia presenting as symmetrical recession of frontal and temporal hairlines as well as eyebrow loss. The exact pathophysiology of FFA has not been elucidated and the optimal treatment is still unknown. The majority of the cases are postmenopausal women although this disease has been found in males and premenopausal females. Herein, we describe a case of FFA in a premenopausal woman and review the relevant literature.
