Alopecia frontal posmenopáusica

The study examined four postmenopausal women aged 55 to 75 with cicatricial frontal alopecia, characterized by a progressive regression of the hairline in the frontotemporal region, associated with cicatricial fibrosis. The analysis included clinical, analytical, and histological evaluations, revealing a predominance of CD8 positive T lymphocytes in the inflammatory infiltrate, with some B lymphocytes present in the dermis but not near the follicles. The findings suggested an absence of a lichenoid pattern, indicating that cicatricial fibrosis might represent an evolutionary step of the condition. All patients also experienced eyebrow alopecia, and one lost her eyelashes.
