Abstract:
We report an annular type of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus(SCLE) which is rare in Korea, A 23-year-old female had erythematous annular rashes with a mild itching sensation on the face, trunk and both extremities. She also had painless oral mucosal ulceration, diffuse hair loss and mild arthralgia. Serologic abnormalities of the patient were positive anti-Ro Ab, ANA and Anti-ds-DNA Ab. The histopathologic findings showed vacuolar degenerations in the basal cell layer, mononuclear cell infiltrate in the upper dermis, and dermal edema. Direct IF revealed granular deposition of IgG and IgA at the dermo-epidennal junction.
