Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (scLE) was first described in the late 1970s. These patients suffer from cutaneous lesions which have an eruption that is more persistent than that of acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (“butterfly rash”), lasting weeks to months or longer. The lesions of scLE consist of scaly, superficial, inflammatory macules, patches, papules, and plaques, that are photodistributed, particularly on the upper chest and back, lateral neck, and dorsal arms and forearms. Several different morphologic types of scLE have been described: annular lesions, and two types of papulosquamous lesions, psoriasiform and pityriasiform. About 50% of the patients with scLE will fulfil four or more criteria for the classification of sLEsLE, though most of the scLE patients do not experience serious renal or CNS involvement of lupus erythematosus. Typically, they suffer from skin disease, photosensitivity, and musculoskeletal complaints. Dry eyes and a dry mouth are also not uncommon. Some patients with scLE experience severe manifestations of SLEsLE, and thus all scLE patients should be monitored for systemic disease (Fitzpatrick, 1996).
