Abstract
Lupus Erythematosus is a multisystem disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from cutaneous involvement to widespread systemic involvement. Squamous cell carcinoma formation in cutaneous lesions of LE is rare but had greater chances of metastases. Here, we report two cases, one of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus and other of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus complicated by development of squamous cell carcinoma over cutaneous lesions.
