A case report of Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome

Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome is a rare entity which consists of scarring patchy alopecia of the scalp, noncicatricial axillary and pubic hair loss, and lichenoid follicular eruption. Although these three problems can arise simultaneously but usually scalp is the first to be involved with persistent itching and hair loss. Associated cutaneous or mucosal lichen planus is also one of the regular features. Thinning and destruction of nails is also present. The axillary and pubic alopecia is regularly described as noncicatricial, because there is no clinical atrophy. This syndrome has been reported among females of postmenopausal age. Here, we report a male patient of 46 years suffering from this syndrome.
