A case of chilblain lupus erythematosus with lupus erythematosus/lichen planus overlap syndrome

Abstract

Chilblain lupus erythematosus (CHLE) is an acral erythema with cutaneous lesion of lupus erythematosus (LE) that is exacerbated during the winter (1). LE/lichen planus (LP) overlap syndrome is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by mixed histological features of LE and LP at the same lesion (2). Although both CHLE and LE/LP overlap syndrome are immune mediated diseases (3), there is no indication that the same lymphocyte subset induces two distinct cutaneous lesions.
