  • Title: Squamous cell carcinoma developing in two Chinese patients with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus: the need for continued surveillance.
    Author: Ee HL, Ng PP, Tan SH, Goh CL.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2006 Jul; 31(4):542-4. PubMed ID: 16716159.
    Abstract:
    Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare late sequel of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus (CDLE). We report two cases of SCC developing in Chinese patients with CDLE. The first patient had prior biopsies from the same site that showed viral warts and the second patient had multiple histologically confirmed viral warts around the vicinity of the previously excised SCC. In this paper, we emphasize the need to be suspicious of warty lesions on skin afflicted by CDLE, and repeat biopsies should be performed if there is failure to respond to conventional therapy.
