54-year-old woman presented with an unusual presentation of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that mimicked pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The lesions were asymptomatic, 2-3 mm, skin-colored, smooth papules without scale or erythema; they were located on the chin, medial malar cheeks, and upper lip. She previously failed traditional treatments, which included hydroxychloroquine and dapsone. The patient responded to thalidomide with a reduction in appearance and number of lesions.
