Rupture of the extensor tendons of the hand in lupus erythematosus disseminatus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
There have been only sporadic reports of rupture of tendons in cases with lupus erythematosus (LE), e.g. rupture of the Achilles tendon (Cowan and Alexander, 1961; Lee, 1961; Bedi and Ellis, 1970) and rupture of the patellar tendon (Twining, Marcus, and Garey, 1964). We here present a case of spontaneous rupture of tendons in the hand of a male with LE. We were unable to find a similar report in the available literature, including The comprehensive book on lupus erythematosus by Dubois (1966).
