Differential diagnosis distinction of nummular headache and Lichen planopilaris

Introduction: Nummular headache is a type of primary headache of chronic character, with a large number of described varieties in the clinical picture, and therefore the differential diagnostic consideration must include a large number of disorders related to changes in epicranial structures. Certain dermatological disorders can also include pain in a limited area of the scalp with itching, burning or burning sensation, such as Lichen Planopilaris. Case report: This is a report of a patient who was initially diagnosed with Lichen planopilaris, but after determining the parameters of the distinction and the necessary additional diagnostic procedures, a diagnosis of Nummular headache was made. Conclusion: In this presentation, we have presented another important differential diagnostic item and we believe that the work is a small contribution to everyday practice, but also to further research.
