Thyroid diseases and lichen planopilaris: A case control study
Authors
Abstract:
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the thyroid function status in patients with lichen lanopilaris.Methods: In this case control study, 26 (8 male and 18 female) consecutive lichen planopilaris patients, and 36 age and sex matched controls were evaluated for thyroid function status.Results: The median antithyroglobulin serum level was higher in patients than controls (47.1 IU/mL vs. 10.2 IU/mL, P

Lichen planus pigmentosus and lichen planopilaris.
Lichen planus is an inflammatory skin conditionwith characteristic histopathological findings thathas many clinical variants. Recently, there have been25 cases reported in the literature of lichen planuspigmentosus (LPPi) that preceded the developmentof frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), which is a variantof lichen planopilaris (LPP). We review the literatureregarding LPPi, LPP, and FFA and pres...
full textLinear Lichen Planopilaris of the Face: Case Report and Review.
We describe the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a 5-month history of unilateral pruritic linear erythematous papules and atrophy on the chin and mandibular area. Dermoscopy showed areas of cicatricial alopecia with absence of follicular openings, perifollicular erythema and pigment. Lichen planopilaris of the face is a rare variant with only 13 cases reported in the literature.

Hair transplantation (HT) is highly effective in secondary cicatricial alopecias such as after thermal burns, trauma, or radiotherapy-induced alopecia. In contrast, hair transplantation in lichen planopilaris (LPP) can be risky because it can reactivate the disease. For this reason, most hair transplant surgeons consider that LPP can be transplanted if confirmed quiescence has been demonstrated...
full textHydroxychloroquine and lichen planopilaris: efficacy and introduction of Lichen Planopilaris Activity Index scoring system.
BACKGROUND Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and its variant frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) are primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecias for which there is no evidence-based therapy. OBJECTIVE We assessed the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in active LPP and FFA using the LPP Activity Index (LPPAI), a numeric score that allows quantification of the symptoms and signs of the condition for statistica...
