hypertrophic LP vs. hypertrophic LE
Where are they found on the body clinically?
LP - affects lower 1/2 of body
LE - affects upper 1/2 of body
**E before P
increased risk of ___ cancer in hypertrophic LE and DLE?
SCC
location of chilblain LE?
fingertips, rims of ears, calves, and heels. FYI: Precipitated by cold, but may persist year round. demonstrates peri-eccrine inflammation on path
anti-ssDNA
linear morphea; increased risk of SLE in DLE patients
