Bullous lupus erythematosus in a patient with pre-existing dermatomyositis

Joerg Wenzel et al. Rheumatol Int. 2004 Mar.

Abstract

The group of autoimmune cutaneous connective tissue diseases (CCTD) includes systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis (DM), lupus erythematosus (LE), and subtypes. Most CCTD patients can be assigned to one of these phenotypes or mixed forms, and transitions among the subsets exist. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman with bullous LE and a background of pre-existing DM. Observations of transitions between DM and LE are extremely rare. Nevertheless, this case demonstrates the close relationship between these two disorders in the context of autoimmune connective tissue disease.
