Abstract
Keywords: dystrophic xanthomization; frontal fibrosing alopecia; lichen planus pigmentosus; xanthoma EN dystrophic xanthomization frontal fibrosing alopecia lichen planus pigmentosus xanthoma 7251 7252 2 12/30/22 20221201 NES 221201 To the Editor, Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is nowadays the most frequent type of scarring alopecia and it is associated with other clinical signs such as facial papules, glabellar red dots, frontal veins depression, or liquen planus pigmentosus (LPPigm).[1] Dystrophic xanthomization is a process that corresponds to the accumulation of lipid-rich foam cells within an area of damaged skin. We report the case of a patient with facial LPPigm associated with FFA that secondarily developed dystrophic xanthomas over the areas of LPPigm. [Extracted from the article]
