We present a rare case of verrucous discoid lupus erythematosus in a paediatric patient, with a focus on clinical and histopathological features. We discuss the differential diagnoses, including papulonecrotic tuberculid, verrucous psoriasis and pityriasis rubra pilaris, with a focus on histopathological clues for differentiation, and emphasize the pivotal role of histopathological examination and direct immunofluorescence in confirming the diagnosis.
