Abstract

Background and Design.- Discoid lupus erythe" matosus is characterized by disc shaped erythema-tous, slightly infiltrated plaques and thick, adherent scales. Older lesions leave atrophic scars. Observation.- A case with discoid lupus erythe-matosus characterized by comedo-like follicular plugs and worm-eaten depressed scar is reported. Other findings of the patient were cicatricial alopecia and nonspecific dermatitis. The patient also had a diag¬nosis of thyroiditis. Differential diagnosis was made between atrophodermia vermiculata and discoid lupus erythematosus.
