Lassueur-Graham Little-Piccardi (LGLP) syndrome is a distinctive entity associating a scarring patchy alopecia of the scalp, a non-cicatricial axillary and pubic hair loss and a lichenoid follicular eruption. We present a 20-year follow-up of a demonstrative case, which had begun as typical lichen planus. In the literature, the relationship with lichen planus remains unclear. The diagnosis of LGLP syndrome should be evoked for all scarring alopecias.
