ABSTRACT

Subacute cutaneous lupus erithematosus (SCLE) is a nonscarring, non atrophy-producing photosensitive cutaneous disorder. The sites most commonly affected are the upper back, chest, neck and arms, but lesions may appear anywhere on the body.1 SCLE lesions may also occur in genetically predisposed individuals, most often in patients with HLA-B8, HLA-DR3. A strong association exist between anti-Ro (SSA) autoantibodies. We present a case of a patient with lesions that suggest SCLE.
