We describe one case of LP in 8 year old boy with subcutaneous erythematous nodules affecting the nose and right side of the cheek of one year duration. Histological examination reveled features of lupus panniculitis. The patient was treated with oral chloroquine with complete resolution of the swellings on the cheek and nose after one year treatment.
