In this study, trichoscopy consistently identified typical findings of frontal fibrosing alopecia, revealing three unusual clinical patterns in 18.4% of patients, which may aid in the differential diagnosis when clinical presentations are atypical.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.

This study observed an alopecia syphilitica-like pattern of hair loss in a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it may be another atypical presentation of the condition.

This article reviews the potential relationship between different forms of permanent hair loss such as cicatricial pattern hair loss and discusses related conditions, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study reported that patterns of fibrosis identified through elastin staining may help distinguish specific forms of primary cicatricial alopecia in biopsy specimens, with certain patterns suggesting particular diagnoses.

This discussion highlights the evolving clinical spectrum of lichen planopilaris, noting atypical features and presentations in younger males that suggest potential different pathomechanisms from previously recognized variants.

This study found that high frequency use of sunscreen is associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia among women attending a specialist hair clinic in Australia.

Hair diameter diversity is a key sign for diagnosing and managing male pattern baldness.

This study reports the prescribing preferences of UK dermatologists for treating various hair loss conditions, noting that topical corticosteroids for mild to moderate alopecia areata and topical minoxidil for female pattern hair loss are commonly used first-line treatments.

This review highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia’s increasing incidence may involve immune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, yet its pathogenesis remains complex and not fully understood.

This review discusses the role of androgen metabolism and perifollicular inflammation in the progression of androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.

This case study suggests that trichoscopic examination of the beard can aid in diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, especially when challenging to differentiate from androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the histopathological diagnosis of scarring and non-scarring alopecias, emphasizing the importance of adequate tissue sampling and clinical information; it reports no new empirical results.

This study suggests that vitamin D deficiency is likely not involved in the development of frontal fibrosing alopecia, as patients showed similar vitamin D levels to those with female pattern hair loss.

This study found that diffuse and pseudo-fringe sign patterns are common in Asian patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and that treatments combining antiandrogens or antimalarials with topical therapy are effective.

This case report describes a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease and renal amyloidosis, presenting symptoms like joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This study adds evidence suggesting a genetic component to frontal fibrosing alopecia, with daughters experiencing an earlier onset than their mothers, although the clinical pattern remains similar to non-familial cases.

This study observed that progressive frontal recession in postmenopausal women may exhibit features of fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a distinct reaction pattern from typical lichen planopilaris.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for differentiating mimickers of patterned hair loss and assessing donor sites in hair transplant patients, without providing new clinical findings.

This review discusses the various trichoscopic features of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, noting white dots in advanced cases as indicators of poor prognosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews common disorders leading to hair loss in females and discusses their clinical features and management strategies, but it presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the characteristic trichoscopy patterns useful in differentiating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia from similar conditions but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the basic principles of hair pathology and findings in common types of alopecia but reports no new research results.

This study evaluated 129 patients with androgenetic alopecia and identified an inflammatory pattern of perifollicular infiltration linked to treatment resistance. Targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved outcomes for 67% of patients, suggesting inflammation may play a role in some cases of stubborn hair loss.

This report identified a family of Iranian siblings with diverse clinical forms of Lichen Planus, suggesting potential genetic and environmental involvement in its pathogenesis.

This case report describes a unique presentation of frontal fibrosing alopecia characterized by a hair loss pattern that resembles the Greek letter upsilon, supported by trichoscopic and histological findings.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

This report discusses cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing after hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.
