AB  - Patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) present with intense 
      photosensitivity. Clinical patterns comprise papulosquamous or annular lesions on 
      sun-exposed areas; although the face is usually spared. Intraoral lesions have 
      not been reported in most case series of SCLE, but are well-documented in other 
      forms of lupus erythematosus. This study included four female patients diagnosed 
      with SCLE, who presented with specific oral involvement consisting of palatal 
      patches (three cases), buccal mucosal patches (one case), gingival keratotic 
      erythema (one case), and lip lesions (one case). All patients presented with 
      exuberant facial lesions, a condition not often observed in SCLE. Our findings 
      suggest that oral involvement in SCLE may not be as rare as once thought, and 
      that patients with intense facial lesions are at particular risk of developing 
      oral lesions.
