Lupus erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by a wide spectrum of manifestations with variable evolution. There has been a long-standing need for a book with a unifying concept on the cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus. This book is based on multidisciplinary knowledge and is written by leading clinicians and scientists. It provides not only a comprehensive description of the vast variety of cutaneous abnormalities but also a synthesis of the relationship between cutaneous and systemic changes, including chapters on clinical aspects, pathology and management of this disease. In summary, this book is an important resource for clinicians who diagnose, treat, and manage patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
