Abstract
- Lupus profundus is a rare subtype of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, which shows a tender subcutaneous nodule or plaque. The face, arm, buttock, trunk and thighs are frequently involved. Lupus profundus can be associated with or without systemic lupus erythematosus. But due to its rarity, it is difficult to diagnosis and there are not many reports regarding its characteristics, including its distribution. In this case, a 13-year-old boy has visited with several violaceous non-tender nodules on Lt. upper thigh with segmental distribution, which follows the Blaschko's line. Through skin biopsy and its immunoflourescent study, we diagnosed lupus profundus. We here report a case of lupus profundus with segmental distribution following the lines of Blaschko's in a child.
