Oral manifestations of lupus erythematosus

Key Points

The study aims to identify and describe oral manifestations of lupus erythematosus to support earlier diagnosis.
Analyzed oral lesions in lupus erythematosus patients.
Identified characteristics differentiating oral lupus from oral lichen planus.
Examined LE subtype features in a clinical cohort.
Identified horizontal white striae linked to lupus erythematosus.
No distinct features between lupus subtypes were found in the cohort.
Emphasized the importance of early recognition for better management.

Abstract

OLE typically presents with horizontal, parallel white striae radiating from a central erythematous or ulcerated focus, a pattern that can help distinguish it from Oral Lichen Planus (OLP). There were no clear distinguishing features between LE subtypes identified in our cohort. Earlier diagnosis and multidisciplinary management may be achieved through timely recognition.
