Multiple dermatofibromas accompanied by eruptive benign keratoses in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.
We described a 39-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed 20 dermatofibromas accompanied by more than 30 eruptive benign keratoses while she was receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy. We are not aware of a previous case of multiple dermatofibromas accompanying multiply eruptive keratoses. The autoimmune disease or altered immunity, or both, may have played a role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.
