A case of hypertrophic lupus erythematosus with negative CD123 staining and transepidermal elimination of elastin [version 1; referees: 2 approved with reservations]

چکیده
We report the case of a 49-year-old male with clinical and histological findings consistent with hypertrophic lupus erythematosus (HLE). HLE must be clinically and histologically differentiated from keratoacanthoma, hypertrophic lichen planus, squamous cell carcinoma and plaque type psoriasis. CD123 positivity and transepidermal elimination of elastin have recently been reported as tools to distinguish HLE. Interestingly, in this case, biopsies of two separate lesions failed to reveal these two features. The etiology of this discrepancy is unknown and further studies are needed to clarify the utility of CD123 positivity and transepidermal elimination of elastin in the diagnosis of hypertrophic lupus erythematosus. 1 1,2

متن کاملPyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with antiphospholipid antibody negative systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report
In any description of leg ulcers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) earns a mention at least for its being quite rare in such patients. The causative role of aPL (antiphospholipid antibody) in dermatological manifestations of SLE is undermined by the occurrence of PG in aPL negative SLE patients. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two reports of PG in aPL...
متن کاملProliferative nephritis in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: current therapeutic approaches and future
Renal involvement occurs in 50-75% of children with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). Proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) represents the most common pattern of renal involvement in cSLE. Despite aggressive treatment, progression to end stage renal disease can occur in up to 5-10% of children. Over the last 2 decades, tremendous advancements have been made in the treatment of p...
متن کاملSystemic lupus erythematosus and Hodgkin's disease.
We report on the rare association of Hodgkin’s disease with systemic lupus erythematosus. Four years after the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, the patient developed cervical mass and weight loss. Histological and subsequent clonality studies confirmed classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The awareness of the association of Hodgkin’s disease with systemic lupus erythematosus and its modes of...
متن کاملAnti-dsDNA Antibodies are one of the many autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Anti-dsDNA antibodies are the most studied antibodies of the lupus-related autoantibodies. The dogma is that these are the most important autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus. In this review, evidence is presented to show that these antibodies (as measured by modern clinical laboratories) are not the most important autoantibodies in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, and a...
