Figure 1: (a) Fronto-temporal recession and eyebrow loss. (b) Scalp: Perifollicular concentric fi brosis with moderately dense perifollicular lymphoid cell infi ltrate consistent with lichen planopilaris, H and E, ×200. (c) Focal basement membrane zone thickening, periodic acid-Schiff stain, ×400. (d) Direct immunofl uorescence: Bright granular-linear deposition of immunoglobulin IgM along basement membrane zone; also IgG, IgA and fibrin deposition was present consistent with a positive lupus band test ×400. (e) 6 years later: Complete loss of sideburns
