ABSTRACT

In 2003, American Hair Research Society classified primary scarring alopecia based on the predominant inflammatory infiltrate. Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and foliculitis decalvans (FD) are the best examples of this group of alopecias with a predominance of lymphocytic and neutrophilic infiltrates respectively.
Some cases have recently been published showing clinical and histopathological aspects of FD and LPP in the same patient. Therefore, a phenotypic spectrum of FD and LPP has been proposed. One of the main characteristic in most hair disorders is inflammation with an essential role. Over the last years it has been shown that it can modify the clinical form, trichoscopic findings and, even the histopathology of some scarring alopecias.
