Abstract

The histology is characteristic. Squamous cell carcinoma can rarely arise within a longstanding DLE plaque in the skin particularly over scalp, ears , lips and nose . It presents as an enlarging warty growth or ulcer. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma which developed on lesion of discoid lupus erythematosus within a short period of time.
