Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus associated with Hodgkin's disease.
Simultaneous occurrence of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and malignancy has rarely been reported. We report the first case of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus associated with Hodgkin's disease. Although our case does not fulfill the criteria of paraneoplastic process, a relationship between the two disorders might be suggested by their simultaneous occurrence and in view of the cases of disseminated lupus erythematosus associated with lymphoma reported so far. The different hypotheses are discussed.
