We present the case of a 72-year-old Caucasian woman with frontal fibrosing
alopecia of one year’s duration. Eighteen months later, she presented with
sudden hyperpigmentation on the submental area, neck and upper chest.
Histopathological examination was consistent with lichen planus pigmentosus.
This is the report of a unique case of a FFA and extrafacial lichen planus
pigmentosus.
