Published: September 2021

Graham-Little Piccardi Lassueur Syndrome (GLPLS) is a rare variant of lichen planopilaris (LPP) which characterized by triad of fibrosing alopecia of the scalp, non-fibrosing alopecia of the axilla and groin, and a follicular spinous papule over the body. LPP is a rare follicular subtype of lichen planus which causes scarring alopecia of scalp, and there are three clinical subtypes of LPP including classic lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and GLPLS. Herein, we describe an adult dark-skinned Saudi male with GLPLS who has numerous body follicular papules, complete loss of axillary hair, and partial loss of groin hair in addition to patchy fibrosing alopecia of the scalp. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of GLPLS in Saudi Arabia.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia predominantly affecting postmenopausal Caucasian women. It is characterized by a progressive frontotemporal hairline recession that presents as a scarring hairless band and is often accompanied by eyebrow and body hair loss. Although initially described in postmenopausal women, FFA has been observed in a broader demographic, including premenopausal women and occasionally men.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) poses a distinct dermatological challenge with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) at its core, driving follicular cell transformation and fibrotic changes. Genetic studies highlight significant associations, while environmental triggers, such as implicated cosmetic products (sunblock, personal hair care products, and moisturizers), introduce complexity. Managing FFA proves daunting due to its chronic and unpredictable nature.
