AI Article Synopsis
- Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) is a rare skin condition that includes follicular spinous papules, scarring hair loss on the scalp, and non-scarring hair loss in the groin or armpit.
- Fewer than 50 cases have been documented in medical literature, highlighting its rarity.
- The report details a specific case of GLPLS assessed using non-invasive methods like dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy, and treated effectively with narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy.
Article Abstract
Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) is a rare variant of lichen planopilaris, characterized by a triad of clinical signs including follicular spinous papules on the body area, scarring alopecia of the scalp and non-scarring alopecia of the groin and/or axilla. To date, fewer than 50 cases have been described in the literature. We first report a case of GLPLS investigated with non-invasive techniques such as dermoscopy and in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and successfully treated with narrowband-UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy.
