TLDR Narrowband-UVB phototherapy successfully treated a rare case of Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome.
The document reports a rare case of Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS), which is characterized by a specific set of symptoms including follicular papules, scarring alopecia on the scalp, and non-scarring alopecia in the groin or axilla. This syndrome has been documented in fewer than 50 cases. The case described was examined using non-invasive techniques, namely dermoscopy and in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). The patient was successfully treated with narrowband-UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy. This is the first reported case of GLPLS investigated with these methods and treated with this type of phototherapy.
