Abstract
Erythema nodosum is a septal panniculitis which is a variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). It is further classified in the group of Lupus Erythematous Panniculitis (LEP).[1] The most frequent cutaneous manifestations include indurated plaques, subcutaneous nodules and sometimes ulcerations. The lesions occur predominantly on the face, upper arms, upper trunk, breasts, buttocks and thighs.[2] They occur most frequently in adult females and do not typically manifest cutaneously in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).[3] In this case report, we discuss a young gentleman who presented with erythema nodosum as a cutaneous feature of SLE.
