Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus/discoid lupus erythematosus in an adult

Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LCLE) is rare. The LCLE was proposed by Abe et al. [1] for discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) with a linear configuration in 1988. It occurs mainly in children and young adults. Lesions appear as linear unilateral erythematous plaques following the Blaschko lines and are observed most frequently on the face, although the neck, trunk and extremities may also ...
