An erythematous, non-scaling indurated plaque appeared on the forehead of a 34-year-old white man. Over a period of approxinately 1 year, it extended onto the scalp, resulting in a linear non-scarring alopecia, seemingly following the lines of Blaschko (figure). Initial therapy with topical glucocorticoids failed, and a skin biopsy was taken. Histopathological examination showed a normal epidermis, accumulation of mucin in the dermis, and lymphocytic panniculitis (figure). Linear cutaneous lupus profundus was diagnosed. Laboratory tests were normal, apart from positive antinuclear anti bodies (1: 200) and slightly increased C3d complement. Under oral hydroxychloroquine therapy the disorder resolved within 12 weeks, followed by complete regrowth of hair. No relapse occurred during 1 year of maintenance treatment. The face and scalp are predilection sites of cutaneous lupus erythematosus profundus. This can result in an alopecia areata-like clinical picture or nonscarring linear alopecia, which has thus far mainly been reported in east Asians.
