Abstract :
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare late complication of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus (CDLE). We report a case of SCC developing in lesions of CDLE in a 16-year-old girl suffering from SLE. A verrucous change or ulceration in lesions of CDLE should warrant a biopsy to rule out malignant transformation
