Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare disease characterized by the transplacental passage from the mother to the fetus of autoantibodies, in particular anti-Ro(SS-A), anti-La(SS-B), or both. The majority of infants with NLE exhibit isolated congenital heart block, cutaneous lesions analogous to those of adult subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, or both. We report a case of NLE in a 3-month-old male infant, born to a clinically asymptomatic mother, presenting small, annular, erythematous plaques with sharp, hyperkeratotic borders and central clearing localized at the eyebrow region. Both the infant and the mother were positive for anti-Ro(SS-A).
