“…According to the literature review, a total of 102 cases diagnosed with LCLE have been reported. The most common pathological diagnosis of CLE in the linear distribution was discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) (39.2%), followed by lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP) (21.6%), lupus erythematosus tumid (LET) (2.9%), subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) (2%) and bullous lesions of SLE (1%) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. LDLE mainly occurs in children and young adults.…”

Background: Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) is an unusual form of LE-specific cutaneous condition, occurring in children and young adults. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis of linear cutaneous LE can be difficult and facial lesions can resemble linear morphea or en coup de sabre. Differential diagnosis of similar conditions along the lines of Blaschko must be differentiated from linear LE. Case presentation: We report a case of linear discoid LE on the forehead of an adult female Thai patient mimicking en coup de sabre. The dermatoscopy, histopathology and direct immunofluorescence findings were consistent with chronic cutaneous LE. Conclusions: As this patient demonstrated classic dermatoscopic features of LE, we emphasized that the diagnosis of linear cutaneous LE can be made by dermatoscopy. This is particularly beneficial for young self-conscious patients with facial lesions that are reluctant to perform skin biopsy.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease leading to scarring and hair loss. Linear Discoid lupus erythematosus has been mentioned in the literature as a rare variant. This article describes isolated linear DLE of the scalp. We present a 26-year-old Saudi male who had unilateral linear DLE of the scalp with no involvement of other body sites and no systemic manifestations. This case is the first case of isolated linear DLE on the scalp. This presentation should be considered as a differential diagnosis of linear scarring alopecia as a distinct morphological pattern of DLE.

“…This case was rather rarer and indicated that the skin lesion of LCLE was not necessarily distributed along the Blaschko line. In an adult case with linear, atrophic, plaque on left jaw and neck which did not follow the lines of Blaschko strictly [13]. But our case followed a reversed Blaschko lines (S shape line) on the left face.…”

Lupus is one of the complex autoimmune disease, which is difficult to diagnose and consists of few subtypes that are required to be classified. During our clinical work, we found out that the dermoscopy can be of great benefit to diagnose discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). The histopathological examination is very important to confirm the diagnosis. The cases of infant LE patients, may derive the autoimmune antibodies from their mothers in order to diagnose the neonatal lupus erythematosus. Thus, it is very important to examine the antibodies of the mother, who may also be a subclinical LE patient and need continuous follow-ups or even treatment managements. Here, we present the cases of lupus with particular characteristics including linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus, DLE, and neonatal lupus erythematosus.
