A 50-year-old woman with lupus erythematosus profundus of about a year's duration was reported. The patient had no history of discoid lupus erythematosus or systemic lupus erythematosus. Dermatologic examination revealed two, firm, freely movable, well demarcated, subcutaneous plaques, with mildly erythematous overlying skin, measuring 2 x 2 cm (right), 5 x 5 cm (left), was present on the both deltoid region. Histopathologically, this showed panniculitis. Diret immunofluorescence studies showed IgG and IgM deposition on the dermoepidermal junction.
