ABSTRACT
Chilblain lupus erythematsus is a rare special subtype of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus characterized erythematous acral skin lesion induced by cold, damp climate. Approximately, only 20% of the patients presenting with chilblain lupus erythematosus later develop systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). We present here a case of chilblain lupus erythematosus, associated with a development of SLE later. A 29-year-old female patient has had violaceous and erythematous papules on the ear, dorsal hands and finger tips for 10 years and these lesions have been aggravated by winter. She has been diagnosed as a suspicious SLE for 3 years and then was treated with oral prednisolone and hydroxychloroqine.
