January 2025 in “Revista del Centro Dermatológico Pascua” The document presents a clinical case of a 71-year-old woman with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution (FAPD), a scarring type of alopecia affecting the frontal region. It highlights the condition's distinction from androgenetic alopecia through its scarring nature and specific histological features, such as lymphocytic infiltration and follicular degeneration. FAPD is more prevalent in postmenopausal women and lacks definitive treatment guidelines.
