| description | Sir, Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an autoimmune disease that may rarely affect the oral mucosa. This mucosal damage may be mistaken for lichen planus. Herein, we report three cases of oral lupus. Observation 1: A 41-year-old female, with a seven-year history of systemic LE (SLE) treated with hydroxychloroquine, presented for recent food discomfort. An examination of the oral mucosa found an erythematous plaque on the palate (Fig. 1) and whitish macules on the cheek mucosa. A palatal biopsy was in favor of lupus. |
