Pseudopelade (Q98596)
From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
Pseudopelade (Brocq) is a chronic, slowly progressive, patchy scarring alopecia of the scalp that develops without any clinical evidence of inflammation, though histologically there may initially be a low grade infiltration of lymphocytes around the hair follicle. Many cases are thought to represent an insidious form of follicular lichen planus of the scalp. It presents with multiple small smooth patches of alopecia within which follicular ostia cannot be discerned.
