ABSTRACT
Lupus panniculitis is an uncommon clinical variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. The cutaneous lesions of lupus panniculitis are characterized by subcutaneous nodules or plaques. The overlying skin can often appear unchanged, but may also be associated with discoid lupus erythematosus and appear erythematous, atrophic, telangiectatic or poikilodermatous. The mean age of incidence is between 30~40 years, and children are rarely affected. Furthermore, a linear distributions of the lesions has rarely been reported. We herein describe a case of 8-year-old girl with linear lupus panniculitis on the face, and propose that the possibility of this disease be considered in cases where linear subcutaneous nodular lesions occur in children or young adults.
