  • Title: Systemic lupus erythematosus with generalized chronic cutaneous (discoid) lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Dadlani C, Pulitzer M, Prystowsky SD.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 May 15; 14(5):5. PubMed ID: 18627741.
    Abstract:
    A 24-year-old pregnant African-American woman had a 3-4 year history of chronic, scarring, hyperpigmented plaques on her scalp, face, trunk, and extremities. She complained of joint pain and fatigue. Clinical presentation, laboratory data, and histopathologic features were consistent with systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient with generalized chronic discoid lupus erythematosus. This subtype is a distinct lupus erythematosus subset that rarely develops renal disease and has a relatively benign but chronic course.
