Abstract:
"Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus(LCLE)" is linear lesion of discoid lupus erythematosus(DLE). Eleven cases LCLE were reported in the English literature including 6 Korean children. We describe an 11-year-old girl with slightly erythematous, well-defined atrophic patches arranged in a linear configuration on the left cheek. Histologic findings were consistent with DLE though the direct immunofluorescent test was negative. Moderate improvement of the lesion was observed with use of sunscreen and topical steroid for 5 months.
