ABSTRACT
Tumid lupus erythematosus is an uncommon subtype of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that manifests as erythematous, edematous plaques without scale or ulceration that involve exposed areas of skin. It is more photosensitive than other types of cutaneous SLE. 80% of patients have negative ANA. Biopsy is needed for the diagnosis.Treatment consists in photoprotection and topical steroids; or if rash persists, intra-lesion steroids.
