Abstract Sclerodermic or scleroderma-like lupus erythematosus panniculitis (SLEP) shares both clinical and histopathological features between lupus panniculitis and localized scleroderma. It is exceedingly rare. We herein report a case of SLEP manifested with a solitary, firm-to-hard, erythematous plaque in an Asian woman. This patient responded well to intralesional corticosteroid and antimalarials. We have reviewed the pathogenesis of fibrosis in patients with chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus as well as documented cases of SLEP in the literature.
