“…The etiopathogenesis of FFA remains obscure, yet a key element seems to be the destruction of the epithelial hair follicle stem cells located in the bulge region by a lymphocytic infiltrate [15]. In addition, the localization at the frontal hairline, the predominance of postmenopausal women, the increased incidence of early menopause [11], and the clinical improvement with anti-androgen drugs [11,16,17,18] suggest that hormonal influences may also play an important role.…”

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia characterized by a progressive band-like recession of the frontotemporal hairline and frequent loss of the eyebrows. It predominantly affects postmenopausal women. Coexistence of FFA and vitiligo is rarely reported in the literature. We retrospectively studied 20 cases diagnosed with FFA in a 14-month period in our Department. Among them, there were 2 cases, a 72-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man, who developed FFA on preexisting vitiligo of the forehead. Anatomical colocalization of the two dermatoses supports the notion that a causal link may exist and their association may not be coincidental. We suggest that interrelated immunologic events and pathologic processes may underlie both these skin conditions.
