    Oral Lesions in Four Cases of Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
    (2011) NICO, Marcello Menta S.; ROMITI, Ricardo; LOURENCO, Silvia V.
    Patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) present with intense photosensitivity. Clinical patterns comprise papulosquamous or annular lesions on sun-exposed areas; although the face is usually spared. Intraoral lesions have not been reported in most case series of SCLE, but are well-documented in other forms of lupus erythematosus. This study included four female patients diagnosed with SCLE, who presented with specific oral involvement consisting of palatal patches (three cases), buccal mucosal patches (one case), gingival keratotic erythema (one case), and lip lesions (one case). All patients presented with exuberant facial lesions, a condition not often observed in SCLE. Our findings suggest that oral involvement in SCLE may not be as rare as once thought, and that patients with intense facial lesions are at particular risk of developing oral lesions.

    Facial Papules in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Evidence of Vellus Follicle Involvement
    (2011) DONATI, Aline; MOLINA, Luciana; DOCHE, Isabella; VALENTE, Neusa S.; ROMITI, Ricardo
    Background: Frontal fibrosing alopecia is considered a particular clinical form of lichen planopilaris that primarily involves the scalp hair over the frontal hairline. Concomitant involvement of vellus at different body sites has recently been reported. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the involvement of facial vellus by effects of the inflammatory process. Unlike the usual noninflammatory clinical presentation of vellus involvement over other body areas, facial vellus involvement can lead to surface changes that may be recognized both by patients and dermatologists. Observations: Four patients with typical clinical features of frontal fibrosing alopecia presented with noninflammatory follicular papules over the face, most of-ten inside the temporal area, and described as ""roughness"" by the patients. Histologic samples showed lichen planopilaris features involving the facial vellus. Conclusions: The new concept of frontal fibrosing alopecia as a generalized disease is important for treatment planning and research. Dermatologists must learn to recognize facial surface changes and discuss these with the patients, who may attribute this roughness to aging or hormonal changes associated with menopause. Further studies are needed to determine the prevalence of this involvement in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia.
