A clinicopathological study of scarring alopecia.
We have studied 10 cases of scarring alopecia, and investigated the diagnostic reliability of immunofluorescence and histopathology in lichen planopilaris and pseudopelade. In the light of our findings, we discuss the possible pathomechanisms of both disease processes.
