Abstract
Graham-Little syndrome, also know as Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, is an unusual form of lichen planopilaris, characterized by the presence of cicatricial alopecia on the scalp, keratosis pilaris of the trunk and extremities, and non-cicatricial hair loss of the pubis and axillae. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman whose condition was unusual in that there was a prominence of scalp findings. Her treatment included a topical steroid plus systemic prednisone beginning at 30 mg every morning, which rendered her skin smooth, but did not alter her scalp lopecia.Entities:
