چکیده
DLE: discoid lupus erythematosus MEP: milia en plaque INTRODUCTION Milia are small benign superficial keratinous cysts, measuring 1 to 4 mm in diameter. Milia can be primary, appearing spontaneously, or secondary to trauma, skin disease, or medication. Milia en plaque (MEP) is a rare form of this condition characterized by numerous aggregated milia on an erythematous plaque. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) represents the most common subtype of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and various presentations have been described. We report an unusual case of bilateral malar MEP as a primary presentation of DLE.

Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) are the two main causes of primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA), both leading to hair follicle destruction and irreversible alopecia. However, they are different in pathogene...

متن کاملMucocutaneous manifestations in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a review of literature
Patients diagnosed with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) often have skin and oral lesions as part of their presentation. These mucocutaneous lesions, as defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1997, include malar rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity and oral ulcers. It is therefore essential to recognize mucocutaneous lesions to accurately diagnose JSLE. The m...
