Lichen planopilaris presents three clinicopathologic variants, ranging from follicular papules to scarring alopecia. Understanding this spectrum aids in diagnosing and managing this inflammatory scalp condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lichen planopilaris is an inflammatory condition affecting hair follicles.
  • Understanding its clinicopathologic variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

  • Three distinct variants of lichen planopilaris are identified based on clinical and histological features.
  • These variants include follicular papules with perifollicular inflammation, plaques with follicular prominence, and cicatricial alopecia.

Findings:

  • The first variant shows keratotic follicular papules and inflammation confined to follicular epithelium.
  • The second variant presents as plaques with follicular and interfollicular inflammation.
  • The third variant is characterized by follicular papules and scarring alopecia due to lichenoid inflammation.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest a disease spectrum for lichen planopilaris, from non-scarring to scarring forms.
  • Recognizing this spectrum can improve clinical management and patient outcomes.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of these variants may reveal new therapeutic targets.
