Most likely Frontal fibosing alopecia.
Things to be discussed are lichenplanopilaris, follicular MF, Lupus,...

perifollicular lichenoid inflammation + mild/ early perifollicular fibrosis + history, in keeping with LPP= FFP.

I agree with my colleagues: frontal fibrosing alopecia.

The clinical presentation is of frontal fibrosing alopecia, pathological features are those of lichen planopilaris. It is said that frontal fibrosing alopecia is a form of lichen planopilaris affecting females mostly menopausal.

Nice case. The clinical description is of a FFA.
The histopathologic pictures shows nice horizontal sections at the isthmus level with perifollicular inflamation and fibrosis composed basically of lymphocites. There´s no interfollicular fibrosis or neutrophils.
There´s lichenoid inflamation of the outer root sheath with some apoptotic bodies.

The first picture shows some follicular drop out. It is compatible with Lymphocytic fibrosing alopecia and the hole case is Frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Agree, FFA. Worth inquiring if there are clinical features of Graham-Little syndrome.
I tend to give an indication of the degree of active inflammation versus burnt out follicular fibrosis in such cases to guide the clinician as to the merits of immunosuppressive treatment for individual cases.

Interface lymphocytic scarring alopecia consistent with lichen planopilaris. Case history of a regressing frontal hairline indicates frontal fibrosing alopecia variant. Maybe the eyebrows are also involved.
