N2 - Pseudopelade of Brocq (PPB) is a rare, idiopathic, slowly progressive hair disorder, resulting in cicatricial alopecia. It typically presents in Caucasian adult patients as small, smooth, flesh-toned and slightly depressed alopecic patches with irregular outlines. It primarily involves the parietal and vertex portions of the scalp with a chronic prolonged course. Controversial opinions still exist as to whether PPB is a single entity or an end stage of several cicatricial alopecic disorders. A practical approach to diagnosis of PPB and therapeutic update are discussed in this review.
