  • Title: Squamous cell carcinoma arising in discoid lupus erythematosus lesions of the ears infected with human papillomavirus.
    Author: Simpson JK, Medina-Flores R, Deng JS.
    Journal: Cutis; 2010 Oct; 86(4):195-8. PubMed ID: 21140928.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 51-year-old white man with discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) of the head, neck, trunk, and upper extremities of more than 20 years' duration who developed rapidly progressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bilateral ear helices. Human papillomavirus (HPV) was detected from excised specimens from the ears via tissue immunohistochemistry. Human papillomavirus infection of discoid lesions may be responsible for the rapid progression of SCC of this patient's bilateral ear helices.
