Background: Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune condition characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations and limited treatment options.

Objective: This single-center retrospective cohort study aims to address this gap by characterizing clinicopathological characteristics, patient demographics, and treatment response among patients with CLE.
