- W4289731408 abstract "Introduction Alopecia is a common dermatological condition with varied etiologies based on age, gender and geographic location. Non-cicatricial (non-scarring) alopecia is more common but often not biopsied. Alternatively, primary cicatricial (scarring) alopecia is diagnostically more challenging and more commonly biopsied to determine the etiology. In this study, we evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics of alopecia in our population. Methods We conducted a retrospective study at the Department of Histopathology, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Pakistan. A total of 104 patients were enrolled in the study who underwent scalp biopsy for alopecia over a period of 11 years. Clinical data were obtained from clinical referral forms, which included age, sex of the patients and duration of the lesions. Three hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections, along with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), PAS with diastase and collagen stains were examined, and histopathological diagnosis was rendered. Results Our study demonstrated that alopecia was more prevalent among females, accounting for 73.1% of cases. Most of the patients belonged to the age group of <35 years (53.8%). The type of alopecia in 88.5% of the cases was scarring, while there were 11.5% cases of non-scarring alopecia. The most common diagnoses were discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) (23.1%) and pseudopelade of Brocq (PB) (23.1%), followed by lichen planopilaris (LPP) (15.4%). A significant association was noted between the histological features and the diagnosis, as epidermal atrophy was the most common histological feature in most cases of DLE, followed by periadnexal infiltrates, lymphocytic infiltrates, follicular plugging and basement membrane thickening. In LPP, the most common histological features were perifollicular infiltrates and fibrosis. In PB, the frequently recurring histological features in most cases were the loss of sebaceous glands, dermal fibrosis and epidermal thinning. Conclusion In this study, we demonstrated the key role of skin punch biopsy and histology in determining the accurate etiology of scarring alopecia. We found discoid lupus erythematosus and pseudopelade of Brocq to be the most common causes of scarring alopecia, followed by lichen planopilaris." @default.
