Abstract
- Hypertrophic lupus erythematosus is a clinical variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). It is critical to differentiate hypertrophic lupus erythematosus from CCLE because of treatment and prognosis. We report a case of hypertrophic lupus erythematosus with CCLE occured on arms. Combination therapy with acitretin and intralesional corticosteroid injection resulted in control of previously refractory skin lesion.
