Abstract

A 74-year-old man presented with firm scalp nodules that had enlarged and become more numerous over 5 years. There is also one case report of OC developing secondary to an unspecified, chronic scalp folliculitis.[5] Interestingly, lichen planopilaris has been noted to develop following hair transplantation.[6] For our patient, there are multiple potential risk factors for his OC - possible scarring alopecia and multiple scalp surgeries. To our knowledge this is the first case reported of a patient with OC in association with hair transplantation/scalp reduction procedures. [Extracted from the article]
