      diagnostic clinical conundrum.

AB  - KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: For practitioners experiencing worsening psoriasis, 
      subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) with a psoriasiform presentation 
      should be ruled out. Initial treatment for a presumptive diagnosis of psoriasis 
      using hydroxychloroquine or ultraviolet phototherapy may cause SCLE to worsen. 
      ABSTRACT: Psoriasiform subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is an unusual 
      presentation scarcely reported in literature. We report a case of a 54-year-old 
      man who presented with an itchy, papulosquamous rash of the upper extremities and 
      face for 7 months. The initial physical examination revealed the classical 
      morphology of psoriasis. One and a half years after the diagnosis of clinical 
      worsening, the patient noticed a new papular eruption on the right posterior 
      upper arm. A skin biopsy was performed, confirming a diagnosis of subacute 
      cutaneous lupus erythematosus. This case report highlights the importance of 
      considering rare presentations of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and therapeutic 
      challenges in management.
