This report details a rare case of lupus erythematosus profundus, a deep skin form of lupus, which occurred alongside mastitis. Notably, this presentation lacked the typical skin or systemic lesions of other lupus erythematosus types.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lupus erythematosus profundus (LEP) is a rare, deep cutaneous form of lupus erythematosus.
  • LEP can occur independently or in association with other lupus erythematosus subtypes.
  • Co-occurrence of LEP with mastitis is exceptionally uncommon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of lupus erythematosus profundus presenting with mastitis.
  • To highlight a case lacking typical discoid or systemic lupus erythematosus manifestations.
  • To contribute to the understanding of rare LEP presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Case report.
  • Clinical presentation review.
  • Histopathological examination of affected tissues.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • A patient presented with lupus erythematosus profundus and concurrent mastitis.
  • No characteristic lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus or systemic lupus erythematosus were observed.
  • Histopathology confirmed lupus erythematosus profundus in the affected tissues.

Conclusions:

  • This case underscores the diverse and sometimes atypical clinical spectrum of lupus erythematosus profundus.
  • The association with mastitis in the absence of other lupus manifestations presents a diagnostic challenge.
  • Further investigation into the pathogenesis and clinical associations of such rare presentations is warranted.
