Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting with generalized poikiloderma - 05/09/11
Abstract |
A 64-year-old woman experienced progressive generalized poikiloderma after an episode of sunburn 4 years earlier. The diagnosis of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) was confirmed by the presence of anti-Ro/SS-A and antinuclear antibodies, the histology, and the direct immunofluorescent findings (ie, positive lupus band test and “dustlike” epidermal IgG staining pattern). Poikiloderma has not been previously reported in the spectrum of SCLE. As a major pathomechanism of SCLE, photosensitivity might explain this uncommon clinical manifestation of the disease.
