Abstract
The paper describes a clinical case of a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. The features of this case are lobular panniculitis (Pn) con-current with other typical clinical and laboratory signs of the underlying disease, as well as the absence of the effect of previous therapy. The main directions of the differential diagnosis of idiopathic lobular Pn and lupus Pn that required exclusion of other rheumatic diseases are highlighted.
