title: Chilblain lupus erythematosus lesions precipitated by the cold.
abstract: Lupus erythematosus (LE) may exhibit a broad array of clinical presentations. Cutaneous manifestations include malar rash, discoid lesions, alopecia, and panniculitis. Cold-induced lesions are uncommon. To illustrate this unusual presentation, we describe a case of typical chilblain LE.
