Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is an inflammatory hair disorder that is characterized by scarring hair loss, mostly affecting the vertex and parietal areas of the scalp. Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is considered a particular form of LPP, primarily affecting the hair follicles in the frontotemporal area of the scalp, with the hairline recession and eyebrow loss. There are case reports of FFA with concomitant involvement of facial vellus, characterized by roughening of the facial skin. We report five cases of facial vellus hair involvement in LPP, in the absence of other sites of disease activity. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first report of LPP affecting the facial vellus hairs in the absence of FFA.
扁平苔藓性毛发角化病(LPP)是一种炎症性毛发疾病,其特征为瘢痕性脱发,主要累及头皮的头顶和顶叶区域。额部纤维性秃发(FFA)被认为是LPP的一种特殊形式,主要影响头皮额颞部的毛囊,伴有发际线后移和眉毛脱落。有FFA伴有面部毳毛受累的病例报告,其特征为面部皮肤粗糙。我们报告了5例LPP累及面部毳毛且无其他疾病活动部位的病例。据我们所知,我们的报告是首例在无FFA情况下LPP累及面部毳毛的报道。
