“…This contrasts with the late-onset, progressive process in the patients described here. 14,15 If LPP is present, it becomes even more important that the patient undergo a detailed clinical and laboratory evaluation, with particular emphasis on the donor area. Entities such as cicatrical alopecias must always be considered when there is thinning in the donor area or thinning that does not follow the pattern of androgenic alopecia.…”

“…Kossard et al report the case of a 75-year-old man whose hair only began to thin at the front of his scalp 10 years after the last hair transplantation although he had undergone many procedures prior to that. 14 Drugs, infections, genetic factors and immunologic abnormalities have been put forward as factors that may trigger LPP. 10 In the patients described, the disease apparently spread to the donor area, which probably led to the transplanted hair falling out.…”

Androgenetic alopecia is often treated by follicular unit transplantation, a technique that involves minimal risk of hair loss because of the more resistant nature of the donor area. Lichen planopilaris is a cicatricial alopecia that causes permanent destruction of hair follicles. We report two cases of post-transplantation lesions compatible with lichen planopilaris in both recipient and donor areas. The quality of the hair follicles in the donor area was apparently compromised by lichen planopilaris, the probable cause of hair loss. Similar reports are rare. When lichen planopilaris is suspected, a biopsy of the scalp must be performed to avoid transplantation during disease activity. Keywords: Alopecia; Lichen planus; Transplantation; Transplantation, autologous Resumo: Alopecia androgenética é tratada com frequência por meio de microtransplante capilar, téc-nica em que os fios transplantados geralmente não caem, pois mantêm características da área doadora, mais resistente. O líquen plano pilar é uma alopecia cicatricial com permanente destruição pilosa. Este artigo relata dois casos de lesões compatíveis com líquen plano pilar em áreas receptora e doadora pós-transplante. A dominância da área doadora foi aparentemente sobrepujada pelo líquen plano pilar, que deve ter gerado a queda dos fios. Relatos semelhantes são raros. À suspeita de líquen plano pilar, devese biopsiar o couro cabeludo e evitar o transplante durante a atividade da doença.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia characterized by a progressive band-like recession of the frontotemporal hairline and frequent loss of the eyebrows. It predominantly affects postmenopausal women. Coexistence of FFA and vitiligo is rarely reported in the literature. We retrospectively studied 20 cases diagnosed with FFA in a 14-month period in our Department. Among them, there were 2 cases, a 72-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man, who developed FFA on preexisting vitiligo of the forehead. Anatomical colocalization of the two dermatoses supports the notion that a causal link may exist and their association may not be coincidental. We suggest that interrelated immunologic events and pathologic processes may underlie both these skin conditions.

“…Nonetheless, no hormonal abnormalities had been recognized in FFA sufferers [2,19] and hormonal alterations by myself would no longer explain the obvious increasing incidence of the condition, nor the cases of FFA springing up in biological time girls and in guys. The statement of FFA poignant transplanted so hairs in an exceedingly man with FFA concomitant with virgin birth phalacrosis [30], suggests that follicle sex hormone condition won't be needed for pathologic process of FFA. However, the possible position of hormones within the pathologic process of FFA has been supported via the observations that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5ARIs) will stabilize [9,19,21] and strengthen FFA9 [31,32].…”

Frontal fibrosing alopecia, described simply over two decades in the past, has come to be probably the most normally noticeable causes of scarring phalacrosis at several skilled hair clinics. Regarded a medical variant of lichen planopilaris (LPP), its uncommon components and associations that distinguish it from LPP. Despite the fact that largely affecting post-menopausal ladies, a small however growing number of guys and premenopausal ladies are affected. The spectrum of the ailment has accelerated from involvement of the frontal hairline and eyebrows, to potentially affecting the whole hairline, facial and body hair. Genetic and environmental motives were implicated however the aetiology remains uncertain. A range of cures had been used in management of the, however medical trials are required to set up effectiveness.
