Abstract

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is one of the primary cicatricial alopecia and is considered a variant of lichen planopilaris. This condition is characterized by a progressive recession of the frontal and temporal hairline, primarily in postmenopausal women. Only two cases have been reported in premenopausal woman worldwide. We report a case of FFA in a 45-year-old female in her premenopausal age, who presented with multiple, small, bald spots on the bilateral frontotemporal area. Microscopically the lesion consisted of the inflammatory stage of lichen planopilaris and its cicatricial stage showing replacement of hair follicles by fibrous tissue. This was an additional case of frontal fibrosing alopecia in a premenopausal woman.
