We describe two sisters with clinical and histological features suggestive of Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate in one and discoid lupus erythematosus in the other. The occurrence of these two entities in one family now gives credence to the theory that Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate is in the same disease spectrum as lupus and probably also polymorphic light eruption.
