Hypertrophic discoid lupus erythematosus is a distinct form of chronic cutaneous (discoid) lupus, which is characterized by hyperkeratotic plaques that typically are observed over the face, arms, and upper trunk. We present the case of a 43-year-old man with verrucous plaques that were distributed symmetrically over the face, who initially was treated with oral antibiotics and topical glucocorticoids for acne vulgaris. A biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis of hypertrophic discoid lupus erythematosus. The clinical and histopathologic features of this clinical variant are reviewed.

Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) is an autoimmune reaction that results in symptoms of polyarthralgia, fever, and cutaneous lesions and other manifestations. Several drugs have been documented to cause this disease, including procainamide, isoniazid, methyldopa, penicillamine, and hydralazine. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) manifestations often occur after the patient has been taking the drug without complications for months to years.

- The study focuses on pemphigus, a rare but serious skin blistering disease linked to multiple genetic factors and an increased risk of other autoimmune disorders.
- Researchers analyzed data from 126 million patients, finding 18,000 cases of pemphigus, to explore the relationship between pemphigus and 74 different autoimmune diseases.
- Results indicated strong associations between pemphigus and several conditions, including pemphigoid diseases, discoid lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, and undifferentiated connective tissue disease, highlighting the importance of understanding these links across different ethnic groups.
