ABSTRACT

A 32-year-old man presented in a dermatology consultation for asymptomatic erythematous lesions that had appeared 3 months before, the dermatological examination showed the presence of slightly squamous erythematous patches pigmented on the right cheek and nose, dermoscopy revealed telangiectasia, horny plugs, and rosettes and structure-less white and brown areas. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) The patient was put under hydroxychloroquine and optimal photo protection with a complete regression without recurrence after 2 years of follow-up. We reported the presence of larges rosettes as a dermoscopic sign of DLE, explaining its histological significance
