“…Dr. Jerry Shapiro and colleagues reported the case of a 26-year-old breakdancer who developed LPP localized to the scalp vertex. 8 Chronic trauma from rubbing was hypothesized to be a contributing factor in this patient. I have evaluated several patients who developed LPP following injury to the scalp from car accidents, falls, burns, neurosurgical trauma, and scalp irradiation (J. Donovan, unpublished).…”

“…In addition to hair transplantation, other examples of skin injury have been associated with the development of LPP. Dr. Jerry Shapiro and colleagues reported the case of a 26‐year‐old breakdancer who developed LPP localized to the scalp vertex .

“…The Koebner phenomenon (isomorphic response) was first described in 1876 and refers to the development of cutaneous lesions at the site of tissue insult. 4 In addition, Donovan as well as Chiang and colleagues reported the development of LPP following hair transplant surgery, 8,9 raising the possibility that surgical trauma may be also be relevant to some cases of LPP. 7 Most recently, Monselise and colleagues reported a patient who developed scalp LPP following many years of repeated scalp trauma secondary to break dancing.…”

Background: Lichen planopilaris is a type of primary scarring alopecia that is characterized by perifollicular lymphocytic inflammation and fibrosis. The cause remains poorly understood, although recent research has begun to unravel some of the molecular mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis.Objective: To present a case of biopsy-proven lichen planopilaris in a patient who had previously suffered serious head injury.Lichen planopilaris developed only in the areas of trauma.Conclusion: Our findings highlight the possible association between scalp trauma and the development of lichen planopilaris.Further research is needed to understand the role of scalp trauma in the pathogenesis of scarring alopecia.Contexte: Le lichen plano-pilaire est un type d'alopé cie de cicatrisation primaire, qui se caracté rise par une inflammation lymphocytaire pé rifolliculaire et par de la fibrose. La cause est obscure, mais des travaux ré cents de recherche ont commencé à mettre en é vidence certains mé canismes molé culaires, incriminé s dans la pathogenè se.Objectif: L'é tude visait à exposer un cas de lichen plano-pilaire, avé ré à la biopsie, chez un patient qui avait é té victime, dans le passé , d'un trauma crâ nien grave. Le lichen plano-pilaire ne se dé veloppe que dans les ré gions ayant subi des lé sions traumatiques.Conclusions: Les ré sultats de l'é tude font ressortir l'association possible entre les traumas du cuir chevelu et l'apparition de lichen plano-pilaire; toutefois, d'autres recherches s'imposent afin de faire la lumiè re sur le rô le du trauma du cuir chevelu dans la pathogenè se de l'alopé cie cicatricielle.

“…LPP has been described to develop after trauma (break‐dancing and motor vehicular accident) and whole brain irradiation in case reports and case series (hair transplant or facelift) . This may be induced due to the Koebner phenomenon which is present in several dermatologic diseases including lichen planus .…”

Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) has an unknown mechanism. Analyzing other scarring diseases (lichen planopilaris, fibrotic kidney disease and scleroderma) may help to clarify the mechanism of scarring in CCCA. These diseases were chosen for comparison due to either their location of disease (skin or scalp specifically), or prominence in patients of African descent. Genetics, possible triggers, an autoimmune lymphocytic response, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition are potentially involved. Possible common pathways in scarring diseases and a better understanding of the CCCA mechanism will lead to further research into the pathogenesis and potential treatments of CCCA.
