- Abstract
Introduction: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of autoimmune origin. It has got both oral and cutaneous manifestations. Case presentation: We present here one case of disseminated DLE with both skin and oral manifestations, along with an exhaustive discussion of the clinical, histological and immunological features to rule out the differential diagnoses. Management: The oral manifestations of lupus erythematosus are very similar to other oral lesions such as lichen planus, lichenoid reactions, GVHD, chronic junctional stomatitis and squamous cell carcinoma. Hence, a biopsy is needed to accurately establish the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment. Conclusion: Definitive diagnosis is arrived based on the information compiled from clinical, histopathological assessments, serum and urine tests, rheumatological evaluation and advanced diagnostic modalities like direct immunofluorescence tests.
