Lupus erythematosus profundus is grouped within the chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus and linear form of it has been rarely reported. Lesions are described as subcutaneous nodules and plaques with a distinctive distribution. We report a 16 years old girl with lupus erythematosus profundus in whom the lesions were at the upper extremity and showed a linear configuration following the lines of Blaschko. We also review the previous reported 12 cases of linear lupus erythematosus profundus in the literature. Patients with linear lupus erythematosus profundus had different features of age, racial characteristics and distribution of lesions when compared with lupus erythematosus profundus.
