Hypertrophic discoid lupus erythematosus resembling squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract
Background: Hypertrophic discoid lupus erythematosus (HDLE) may resemble cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) histologically.
Objective: The histologic features that help to differentiate HDLE from SCC are reviewed.
Methods: Two patients are described with HDLE.
Results: Both patients were treated initially with Mohs surgery for "biopsy-proven" SCC. Subsequent biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of HDLE and the patients responded well to appropriate therapy. No significant complications occurred in either patient.
Conclusion: Lesions of HDLE may imitate SCC. Strategies are suggested to avoid surgical procedures based on an incorrect biopsy report.
