Abstract:
We present the case of a 38-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and atypical urticarial skin lesions with an alteration in shape, but not complete disappearance, within 24 hours. Hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections revealed flame figures. We review urticarial lesions in lupus erythematosus and discuss the possible pathomechanisms.
