Abstract
Graham–Little–Piccardi–Lasseur syndrome (GLPLS) is characterized by diffuse alopecia and a lichenoid follicular eruption affecting the scalp, eyebrows, and intertriginous regions. It is considered a variant of lichen planopilaris. The condition often begins as hyperkeratotic papules on the trunk and extremities followed by the development of alopecia. Several subtypes of lichen planus have been associated with a photodistriubuted eruption including lichenoid drug reactions, actinic lichen planus, and lichen planus pigmentosus; however, there are no reported cases associated with GLPLS. We herein report the first case of GLPLS displaying a photodistributed lichenoid eruption to expand upon the differential diagnosis of photoaggravated conditions. We also use this case to review the pathophysiology and therapeutic modalities to manage GLPLS.
