Annular Atrophic Plaques of the Face: A Variety of Atrophic Discoid Lupus Erythematosus?

Annular Atrophic Plaques of the Face: A Variety of Atrophic Discoid Lupus Erythematosus? Abstract • In a patient whose condition was diagnosed clinically and pathologically as annular atrophic plaques, the lesions bore some resemblance to morphea, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). In a lesion that appeared recently, which was not DLE clinically, the histological characteristics were consistent with DLE, and immunofluorescence examination disclosed an immunofluorescent band at the epidermal-dermal zone. We suggest that annular atrophic plaques may be an atypical variant of DLE, with a tendency to sclerosing. (Arch Dermatol 112:1143-1145, 1976) References 1.
