“…While reported pediatric cases of LPP are rare, they outnumber the even rarer reported pediatric cases of FFA (>12:3). There are only 3 reports of pediatric FFA in the literature: 14-year-old twin sisters who developed FFA at 5 years of age, and a 7-year-old female with FFA (Atarguine et al 2016). While the histology of the 7-year-old female was reportedly consistent with FFA, the histology and clinical presentation of what is reported as FFA in the twin sisters is less convincing, showing only "a depletion of hair follicles with dermal fibrosis and perivascular infiltrate."…”

“…The current case represents the 25 th and resulted in a total of 59 individual cases [Table 1]. 4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Most affected family members were women (88%) but some families had both men and women (8%) who were affected; only one family presented with only affected males (4%). Analysis of the familial relationships showed that the most common relationship was between sisters (56%) followed by mother and daughter (32%) and brother and sister (8%).…”

“…5 Genetic factors have also been linked to this disease, as family cases reported in the literature to date suggest. 4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Finally some authors have stated an autoimmune origin due to the inflammatory infiltrates in the bulb, the similarities to LPP and the association with other autoimmune diseases. 17 Family groups of FFA are an infrequently described phenomenon, with unknown prevalence among all cases of FFA.…”

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is an emerging disease in Western countries. We present the cases of three sisters who were referred simultaneously to the Department of Dermatology, Hospital Universitario San Cecilio, Granada, Spain, in 2018. All patients suffered from at least partial frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss. Following trichoscopic examination, the three sisters were diagnosed with FFA. Only one of the sisters agreed to be treated; she was prescribed with topical clobetasol propionate solution and minoxidil and achieved disease control at the three-month follow-up. These patients represent a new case of familial FFA wherein three sisters as well as their mother were affected by FFA. A systematic review found a total of 24 cases of familial FFA, of which this report is the 25th. In the majority of families, only females were affected (88%) while in the remainder both males and females (8%) were affected; there was only one family where only males were affected (4%). The relationship between the affected individuals was predominately between sisters (56%) followed by mother and daughter (32%). The median age was 61 years old (range: 14–88 years) and the duration of the disease ranged between 3–360 months. Family groups of FFA are an infrequently described phenomenon with unknown prevalence. Keywords: Alopecia; Dermatology; Hair Diseases; Case Report; Spain.

“…In the past 20 years, however, there has been an enormous increase in the incidence of FFA cases worldwide, predominantly affecting individuals of higher socio-economic status [ 1 ]. Even though the initial cases only comprised Caucasian postmenopausal women, there are now reports of patients of different ethnic backgrounds and case series of FFA affecting premenopausal women (15% of cases), men (3–5% of cases) and even children (three paediatric cases reported) [ 1 – 3 ]. Determining the precise age of onset is difficult because of the slowly progressive nature of the disease.…”

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is recognized to represent a generalized process of inflammatory scarring alopecia. Apart from the classic form affecting the frontal hairline, there are a range of disease manifestations involving loss of eyebrows and of eyelashes, loss of peripheral body hair, fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, facial and extrafacial skin, mucous membrane, and nail involvement. Classic linear, diffuse "zigzag", pseudo "fringe sign", androgenetic alopecia-like, cockade-like, ophiasis-like and incomplete patterns are distinguished. The aetiology of FFA remains obscure, but a number of pathogenetic hypotheses and treatments to halt disease progression have been proposed.
