Abstract:
A 42-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has had wide-spread erythemas with some purpuric patches on her trunk and upper extremities during exacerbation of her disease. Biopsy findings from erythematous lesions and purpuric areas revealed the pathology of lupus erythematosus and leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) with immune deposits, respectively. A feature of wide-spread symmetrical erythemas with foci of LCV occurring in this patient is considered to be an unusual presentation.
