Frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris in HLA-identical mother and daughter. Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology. 2015 Mar-Apr; 81(2): 162-165.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/158270Frontal fi brosing alopecia (FFA) is a lymphocyte-mediated scarring alopecia thought to be a variant of lichen planopilaris (LPP). We present a 67-year-old woman with frontal fi brosing alopecia whose daughter was diagnosed to have lichen planopilaris. Both patients had identical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) D types, supporting a phenotypical relationship between the two clinical entities. Interestingly, our patient also had of autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis, a previously unreported association.enLichen planusfamilial lichen planusandrogenetic alopeciaatrophic gastritisfrontal fibrosing alopeciaAdulyAgedAlopecia --diagnosisAlopecia --epidemiologyFemaleHLA-D AntigensHumansGastritis, Atrophic --epidemiologyLichen Planus --diagnosisLichen Planus --epidemiologyArticle
