Abstract

The objective of this studies is to review clinical and laboratory features of lupus panniculitis. The authors report 3 cases of lupus profundus from a group of 70 lupus erythematosus. In both cases the lupus panniculitis presented as subcutaneous infiltrated and indurated nodules. The diagnosis was confirmed on clinical, histological and therapeutic data. The evolution is slow and is characterised by regression of the inflammatory lesions with treatment by antimalarial drugs. The lupus panniculitis has generally a favorable prognosis.
