A Case for Diagnosis (Lupus Erythematosus?). Presented by DR. ANKER K. JENSEN.

G. A., a 38 year old white woman, about seven months ago, after an attack of herpes zoster that was limited to the trunk, noticed a small lesion on the forehead. There has been no change in this lesion since it first appeared; it is on the upper central part of the forehead, a little smaller than a dime. It is erythematous, smooth, well marginated and with what appears to be a slight degree of atrophy in the center. The Wassermann reaction was negative.
