Sažetak
There are a series of dermatoses which cause cicatricial alopecia when they are located on the scalp. All scarring processes can damage the hair follicle, with subsequent hair loss and irreversible alopecia. Histologically, it is caracterized by dermal scarring, often relatively deep, along with absent or reduced hair follicles and reduced number of erector pili muscles. The most common causes of cicatricial alopecia are discoid lupus erythematodes (DLE), lichen planus, psudopelade, chronic folliculitis, sarcoidosis, morphea, mucinosis follicularis, etc. The aim of this study was to examine the cause of scarring alopecia by anamnestic data, clinical findings and histopathological examination. In this study we included 29 patients with cicatricial alopecia that were hospitalized in our Clinic, during the period of the last 5 years. Hystopathological examination showed different underlying dermatoses (discoid lupus erythematodes, chronic folliculitis, pseudopelade, mucinosis follicularis), however, some biopsies showed nonspecific histopathological finding. Our clinical experience shows that this type of alopecia should attract more attention and studying in the future.
