title: Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting as erythroderma.
abstract: Erythrodema secondary to subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is rare. We report a 61-year-old man presenting with erythroderma secondary to SCLE. During erythrodermic phase our patient still had few annular and polycyclic lesions characteristic of SCLE. He was successfully treated with topical and oral corticosteriods.
