Abstract
- Although systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory multi-system disease characterized by protean manifestations, there were a few reports of breast involvement in patients with SLE. Histopathologically, most cases show lupus panniculitis. We report a 26-year-old female patient with SLE presenting with breast fat necrosis and biopsy revealed lymphocytic leukocytoclastic vasculitis and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, rather then lupus panniculitis. Patient received hydroxychloroquine and prednisolone with an improvement of breast necrosis.
