Summary Treatment of refractory cutaneous lupus is challenging. When conventional therapy, including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, has failed, the addition of quinacrine may be a promising option. We describe a case of refractory chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) who responded well to quinacrine.

"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.

Hypertrophic discoid erythema is a clinical variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) found most often in association with the more classical lesions of discoid erythemas. We report two cases of CCLE with hypertrophic discoid erythemas occurred on the arms; a rare form of cutaneous lesion of CCLE.

Hypertrophic lupus erythematosus is a clinical variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). It is critical to differentiate hypertrophic lupus erythematosus from CCLE because of treatment and prognosis. We report a case of hypertrophic lupus erythematosus with CCLE occured on arms. Combination therapy with acitretin and intralesional corticosteroid injection resulted in control of previously refractory skin lesion.

The clinical manifestations and immunohistologic findings of drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) are similar to those of idiopathic lupus. However, DILE is different from idiopathic lupus because it is induced after continuous drug exposure and resolves after discontinuation of the causative drug. DILE can be divided into systemic lupus erythematosus, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). Lupus erythematosus profundus is a subtype of CCLE, and drug-induced CCLE is very rarely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of adalimumab-induced lupus erythematosus profundus developed in a rheumatoid arthritis patient. The patient is a 43-year-old Korean woman who had multiple tender nodules and plaques on her face, trunk, and both extremities after using adalimumab for rheumatoid arthritis. She was diagnosed with adalimumab-induced lupus erythematosus profundus, and her condition improved after discontinuation of adalimumab.
