Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hypertrophic lupus erythematosus (HLE) is a distinct and rare clinical variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). It is characterized by verrucous lesions and a chronic course of disease. HLE tends to be much more refractory to treatment than classical CCLE. Therefore, the traditionally available therapeutic options including sun protection, topical and oral corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, retinoid and thalidomide are often unable to control the disease. We report here on the successful use of triamcinolone intralesional injection in a patient with HLE and who failed to respond to conventional treatment such as acitretin and hydroxychloroquine.
