ABSTRACT
We present a 24-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with multiple patches of non-scarring alopecia closely resembling alopecia areata. Scalp biopsy showed a predominantly subcutaneous and dermal lymphocytic infiltrate that surrounded the deep follicular segments and hair bulb. This pattern is capable of producing a temporary hair loss, clinically misdiagnosed as alopecia areata. The clinical history, presence of erythema on bald patches and scalp tenderness as well as the biopsy findings were important clues in diagnosis of lupus erythematosus. We report here a case of lupus panniculitis that presented as multiple bald patches misdiagnosed as alopecia areata.
