Atypical cutaneous manifestations in lupus erythematosus: A report of three cases

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can present with a wide morphological spectrum of cutaneous manifestations. In addition to its classical cutaneous presentations such as malar rash, discoid rash, annular, or papulosquamous lesions, there can also be a few unusual manifestations. We present a report of three patients evaluated in a tertiary care center satisfying the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics criteria for SLE and presenting with unusual manifestations such as bullous lesions, toxic epidermal necrolysis like picture, and coexisting with pemphigus foliaceous.
