Abstract

Background: Lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEp) is an uncommon but distinctive subset of lupus erythematosus (LE). It may develop in patients with discoid or systemic LE or may occur as an isolated phenomenon.

Case report: We describe a case of LEp affecting unusual sites: the parotid gland, eyelid, and scalp. Subsequently, the patient progressed to antinuclear antibody-negative systemic LE.
