Abstract
- Postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia is a recently described, rare scarring alopecia. The disease is characterized by progressive frontal recession in postmenopausal women with clinical features of a fibrosing alpecia. The histologic findings are indistinguishable from those seen in lichen planopilaris. Postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia is especially rare in Asian women. We describe a typical case of postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alpecia in a Korean woman with clinical and histologic features.
