Oral Discoid Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Effectively Managed and Differentiated with other Overlapping Diseases
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a benign disorder of the skin, most frequently involving the face, and characterized by well-defined red scaly patches of variable sizes, which heal with atrophy, scarring, and pigmentary changes, will have considerable effect on quality of life if untreated. Keeping the broad spectrum of red and white lesion in mind, here, we present a clinically diagnosed and successfully treated case of DLE, with differential diagnosis which might overlap the disease.
