Graham-Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome is a rare condition characterized by scarring alopecia of the scalp, noncicatricial hair loss in the axillary and pubic regions, and lichenoid follicular eruptions. It typically affects postmenopausal women, but this case report documented a 46-year-old male patient with similar symptoms, including burning sensations in the mouth, patchy hair loss on the scalp, and nail deformities. The report emphasized the importance of recognizing associated skin, hair, and nail changes in patients with lichen planus and recommended collaboration between dentists and dermatologists for optimal patient care.
