TI  - Paraneoplastic subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus: an underrecognized entity.
PG  - 25-9
AB  - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a form of cutaneous lupus 
      erythematosus that most often presents as scaly, erythematous, papulosquamous, or 
      annular papules and plaques in a photodistributed pattern. Subacute cutaneous 
      lupus erythematosus is classically considered to be either idiopathic or drug 
      induced. There have been few reports of SCLE arising in the setting of 
      malignancy, raising the possibility that paraneoplastic SCLE may be a rare 
      distinct subset of lupus. We report a case of SCLE arising as a paraneoplastic 
      phenomenon in the setting of small cell lung cancer. Given the close temporal 
      proximity of the detection of malignancy and the development of the rash in our 
      patient, we believe this report presents a case of paraneoplastic SCLE. The 
      presentation of new-onset idiopathic SCLE should prompt a careful review of 
      systems and age-appropriate cancer screening, as SCLE may be a sign of an occult 
      malignancy.
