AB  - Lupus erythematosus is a spectrum that includes auto-immune disorders such as 
      systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus 
      (SCLE), and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). Discoid lupus 
      erythematosus (DLE) is the most common type of CCLE, and ocular DLE is a rather 
      rare presentation. We report the case of a 42-year-old male patient who had been 
      repeatedly mis-diagnosed and upon detailed dermatological workup was found to 
      possess clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of DLE. Our report 
      focuses on the importance of dermoscopy as a useful point-of-care investigation 
      to avoid delay, and thus related complications. It further suggests how fundus 
      examination could prove helpful in identifying lupus-related fundus changes, and 
      explores how to devise a suitable plan of treatment for such patients.
