The authors report on a new case of neonatal lupus erythematosus, with an un-usual dermatological presentation: sequelar lesions of telangiectasias associated with areas of skin atrophy. They emphasize the diagnostic difficulties that can be encountered when the mother is symptom-free, and the uncertainties of long-term prognosis of these children.
