Frontal fibrosing alopecia and ulerythema ophryogenes as two entites that can transist one into another
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The authors report two clinical cases of progressive hair loss in frontoparietal area of the scalp accompanied by a total loss of eyebrows that occurred in mother and daughter. They are diagnosed with scarring alopecia which is a condition described in a wide group of diseases that cause diagnostic and classification problems. The symptoms that occurred in presented patients are characteristic for frontal fibrosing alopecia, a disease histologically similar to lichen planopilaris, typically appearing in women at postmenopausal age, and ulerythema ophryogenes, one of the keratosis follicular disorders that appears in early infancy and has familial occurrence. The authors hypothesize that these two diseases have much in common and are likely to evolve one into another.
