Abstract
Pediatric discoid lupus erythematous (DLE) is an uncommon entity that clinically resembles the adult onset DLE. However, pediatric DLE shows a higher incidence of positive family history and higher propensity towards progression to systemic lupus erythematous. Herein, we report a case of pediatric DLE who responded well to oral hydroxychloroquine. DOI: 10.21276/apalm.2017.1086References
