“…The traumatic induction of lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus is well known 7 . In fact, in one study, burns were the most common inciting agent of trauma‐induced lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus 8 . However, there is no description of verruciform lesions resulting from burn trauma, nor is there documentation of trauma pre‐dating the development of verrucous lesions in the comprehensive reviews of verrucous lupus erythematosus to date.…”

Lupus erythematosus profundus (LEP) is a rare form of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus. We report on a case of a 56-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with a single, persistent, painful rash on the left hip and lateral aspect of the left upper thigh, which had been present for 2.5 years. The patient had a history of previous injury to this area before the rash started. Clinical findings showed an inflamed, hyperpigmented, and indurated plaque with a linear skin invagination and no associated systemic symptoms. A skin biopsy test result confirmed the diagnosis of LEP and the clinical and laboratory examinations ruled out systemic lupus erythematosus. After 2 months of treatment with methotrexate 20 mg weekly and 1 month of prednisolone 7.5 mg daily, the skin rash improved considerably. We also present a brief review of the epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, histopathology, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment of LEP.
