Graham-Little Piccardi Lassueur Syndrome: case report

Abstract: Abstract:A 33-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of progressive alopecia of the scalp. Past treatment with hydroxicloroquine did not show improvement. Physical examination revealed multiple areas of alopecia with atrophic aspect of the scalp, and axillary and pubic hypotrichosis. Dermoscopy showed hyperkeratosis and accentuation of follicular ostia. Anatomopathological examination revealed decrease in the number of hair follicles, upper perifollicular infiltrate and areas with fibrosis. The Piccard… Show more

“…The histopathologic features of extrafacial keratotic papules of Graham–Little–Piccardi syndrome show the typical features of lichen planopilaris, with dilated keratin plugged follicular openings with apoptotic keratinocytes and lichenoid interface dermatitis and perifollicular concentrical fibrosis and perifolliculitis . In this sense, our report demonstrates that the extrafacial hyperkeratotic papules of FFA are histopathologically similar to those of Graham–Little–Piccardi syndrome.…”

“…Graham‐Little syndrome is an uncommon variant of LPP clinically characterized by cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, NCA of the axilla and pubis and follicular papules over trunk and extremities . Perifollicular hyperkeratosis and accentuation of follicular ostia were the scalp trichoscopic findings reported in only one case report with trichoscopy …”
