This study reports two cases of DLE in female patients and highlights the importance of performing a dermoscopy examination for early diagnosis.
Introduction: Although facial involvement in discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is common, eyelid involvement is atypical. Identifying this condition is challenging due to misdiagnosis, and it is essential to avoid potential deformities of the eyelid margin. Case Presentation: We, herein, report the dermoscopic findings in 2 female patients with a confirmed diagnosis of DLE who presented eyelids involvement. Discussion/Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of performing a dermoscopy examination to help physicians obtain an early diagnosis of DLE.
