Abstract
Lupus panniculitis also called lupus profound is a rare variant of chronic cutaneous lupus. This entity share histological characteristics with subcutaneous T cell lymphoma, which require a lot of times, a clinical biological and histological correlation. This entity is difficult to treat and oral corticoids seem to be the mainstay therapy. We report a case of a woman who presented systemic lupus erythematous with a cutaneous involvement as panniculitis and a good response to antimalarials.
