  • Title: Isolated linear lichen planopilaris: extremely rare when limited to the scalp.
    Author: Delacerda AB, Chandler RG, Wells MJ, Vindhya PL.
    Journal: Cutis; 2013 Dec; 92(6):303-5. PubMed ID: 24416746.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a primary cicatricial alopecia that rarely presents in a linear distribution. We present a case of linear LPP that was isolated to the frontal scalp with extension down the forehead. It is uncommon to see a linear distribution of LPP anywhere on the body, but it is particularly rare on the scalp. We also discuss the pathophysiology of disorders that present in unusual linear distributions.
