This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

This study found that female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia are significantly more likely to have systemic lupus erythematosus compared to controls.

This case study reported that a 34-year-old woman with classic lichen planopilaris achieved disease remission after two months of hydroxychloroquine treatment following ineffective corticosteroid therapy.

This study found diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

This article reports a rare case of a postmenopausal woman with coexisting lichen planus pigmentosus and classic lichen planopilaris, alongside a review of related literature.

This systematic review found that while hair transplantation in patients with lichen planopilaris may serve as a cosmetic option, there is a notable decline in graft survival rates after two years, and the data currently lacks prospective studies for stronger evidence.

This article discusses the causes and treatment options for lichen planopilaris, a scarring hair loss condition, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

This reported case of lichen planopilaris in siblings suggests a potential genetic predisposition, supporting the hypothesis of inherited susceptibility in this condition.

This abstract discusses the prevalence and forms of lichen planopilaris, a type of scarring hair loss, but reports no new clinical findings.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This study reports that tofacitinib, a JAK inhibitor, may stabilize hair loss in patients with classic lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, though hair regrowth was not robust.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, its presentation, and treatment challenges, and emphasizes the need for more research into its pathogenesis and therapy efficacy; it reports no new findings.

This study reports that subtle presentations of lichen planopilaris may be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis in patients with androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatoscopy-guided biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This study highlights lichen planopilaris as a form of scarring hair loss with symptoms like shedding and itching, and notes successful treatment options such as topical and oral antiinflammatory medications to preserve hair follicles by early intervention.

This study found that the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain effectively distinguishes scarred from non-scarred dermis and aids in classifying types of permanent alopecia based on elastic tissue patterns.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, key histologic features such as mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia were identified to aid in the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

This article reviews various types of scarring alopecia, detailing their inflammatory characteristics, but presents no new clinical findings.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, a group of rare inflammatory scalp disorders resulting in permanent hair loss, and reports no new findings.

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat scarring hair loss conditions.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its frequent misdiagnosis and highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand its epidemiology, causes, and treatment options; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.
