Discoid Lupus Erythematosis affecting the Eyelid with Dramatic Response to Chloroquine and Intralesional Triamcinolone
Keywords:
Eyelid,, Discoid lupus erythematosus, chloroquine, riamcinoloneAbstract
Summary: The discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) may present with a wide range of cutaneous lesions. However, the eyelid
involvement has been only rarely reported. The involvement of eyelids may lead to potentially serious complications
secondary to the scarring like ectropion, entropion, symblephron and loss of eyelashes. It is therefore important to diagnose
and appropriately treat the eyelid lesions of DLE at an early stage. A case of DLE involving the eyelid which responded
dramatically well to chloroquine and intralesional triamcinolone, is being reported.
