ROJAS RONDON, Irene et al. Palpebral lupus: apropos of two cases. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.3, pp.503-508. ISSN 0864-2176.

Erythematosus lupus is an inflammatory dermatosis of chronic, acute or subacute nature that occurs in outbreaks. It can affect all the body organs, but mainly the skin. Here are two patients with plaque-form lesions located in the internal middle area of the free inferior palpebral border, thick contours, central depression with scabby bottom and loss of eyelash. Taking into account the location, the extension of the lesion, personal histories and application of previous treatment without improved clinical picture, it was decided to perform incisional biopsy for better examination. The anatomopathological results showed the diagnosis of palpebral discoid lupus. The recovery of the patient was satisfactory after the medical treatment, with no relapse during the first follow-up year.

Keywords : palpebral discoid lupus; systemic erythematosus lupus; palpebral tumors.
