TLDR Dermoscopy helps diagnose rare GLPLS in males.
Graham–Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) is a rare variant of lichen planopilaris, characterized by a triad of symptoms including patchy cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, non-cicatricial alopecia of the axilla and groin, and follicular spinous papules on the body. This case study describes a 35-year-old male with GLPLS and coexisting linear lichen planus, a combination not previously reported. Dermoscopy revealed features consistent with lichen planopilaris, aiding in early diagnosis. Treatment aimed to halt disease progression using topical medications, but the patient was lost to follow-up. The study highlights the rarity of GLPLS in males and the importance of dermoscopy in diagnosis.
