Abstract:
Chilblain lupus erythematosus(CLE) is a chronic unremitting from of LE seen predomin antly in women, The chilblain lesion occurs commonly on the digits, calves and heels. Chronic facial discoid LE usually appears before the chilblain form. A 23-year-old female had relatively well defined, erythematous discoid plaques on her both cheeks and scattered erythema multiforme-like ring lesions on her right hand and right wrist. There were also chilblain lesions showing multiple, purple colored macules on her knees, lower legs and periungual areas of fingers and toes. The skin lesions developed at November, 1982 and then the skin lesions remitted during the next summer. The skin lesions recurred at December, 1983.
