Tumid lupus erythematosus (also known as "lupus erythematosus tumidus") is a rare, but distinctive entity in which patients present with edematous erythematous plaques, usually on the trunk.〔James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). ''Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology''. (10th ed.). Saunders. Page 159. ISBN 0-7216-2921-0.〕 Lupus erythematosus tumidus (LET) was reported by Henri Gougerot and Burnier R. in 1930. It is a photosensitive skin disorder, a different subtype of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) from discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) or subacute CLE (SCLE).〔Gougerot H, Burnier R. Lupus érythémateux "tumidus". Bull Soc Fr Dermatol Syphiligr. 1930;37:1291-1292.〕 LET is usually found on sun-exposed areas of the body. Skin lesions are edematous, urticarialike annular papules and plaques. Topical corticosteroids are not effective as treatment for LET, but many will respond to chloroquine. LET resolves with normal skin, no residual scarring, no hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Cigarette smokers who have LET may not respond very well to chloroquine.〔Kuhn A, Richter-Hintz D, Oslislo C, Ruzicka T, Megahed M, Lehmann P. Lupus erythematosus tumidus, a neglected subset of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Report of 40 cases. Arch Dermatol. 2000;136(8):1033-1041.〕〔Callen JP. Management of skin disease in patients with lupus erythematosus. Best Pract Res Clin Rheumatol. 2002;16(2):245-264.〕 It has been suggested that it is equivalent to Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate of the skin. == See also == * Lupus erythematosus * List of cutaneous conditions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「tumid lupus erythematosus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
