Abstrakt: | Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a complex autoimmune disease that presents with a wide variety of clinical and immunopathological features, making it challenging to reach a correct and prompt diagnosis. Patients with LE most frequently present with cutaneous and rheumatologic manifestations. As cutaneous findings may be the first sign of disease, their timely recognition is important for proper workup and management of LE. Here we present a case of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) and review the cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and the histopathological correlates to raise awareness and promote faster times to diagnosis and treatment.
