Abstract

Lupoid sclerosis (LS) is a controversial entity, comprising features of both systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis. Diagnostic criteria are a matter of debate, as well as the role of antinuclear and antiphospholipid antibodies. In this review, clinical and laboratory findings of LS available on Pubmed up to date are discussed.
