Resumo
The present paper describes the case of a 47-year-old female patient, with discoid lupus erythematosus-the most common clinical variant of chronic cutaneous lupus-presenting achromic cicatricial lesions on the face. The punch grafting technique was performed in the following regions: right supraorbital, right malar, and nasal. The donor sites were the left and right retroauricular regions. A repigmentation halo of about 1cm was observed around each graft. This technique has been used in the treatment of refractory vitiligo, however it can also be used in inactive achromic cicatricial lesions of discoid lupus with good results.
