摘要

Frontal fibrosing alopecia(FFA)is a recently described form of primary cicatricial alopecia,characterized by progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline and eyebrow loss,occurring predominantly in postmenopausal women.The incidence of FFA has increased significantly during the last decade and we may be facing an epidemic of the disease.Because this condition causes permanent hair loss,prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for obtaining optimal outcome.This article reviews existing knowledge on epidemiology,etiopathogenesis,clinico-histological features,diagnosis,and treatment modalities of FFA.
