Abstract
We report on a 32-year-old female with a 3-year history of an asymptomatic erythema of the forehead. The lesion had a linear distribution following the lines of Blaschko. Histopathological findings and direct immunofluorescence allowed to establish the diagnosis of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Treatment with local corticosteroid and antimalarial agents given for 2 months resulted in a complete remission.Keywords
