Cosmetic Repair (Surgical) of Lupus Erythematosus Hypertrophicus et Profundus. Presented by Dr. Samuel M. Peck. E. B., a housewife aged 40, is presented from Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, with an eruption which appeared after exposure to sun and which has been present since 1925. The patient has been under observation since 1926. She has received a great deal of therapy, including treatment with gold and bismuth preparations, cobra venom and other remedies, but finally improved with administration of suramin sodium (naphuride sodium®). Subcutaneous infiltrations appeared in 1938. With improvement, the infiltrations disappeared, leaving atrophic areas resulting in cosmetic defects. There are still a few areas of activity on the face and scalp consisting of circumscribed patches of atrophy and telangiectasia. The sites of the defects have been filled in by means of skin grafts. The patient has been kept practically free of lesions by injections of naphuride.
