Lesions of atrophie blanche which developed in 2 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have been followed up for 3 years. The observation was made that atrophie blanche was not always preceded by ulcers but healed directly as scars. It was assumed that atrophie blanche might not be a terminal stage of necrotizing angitis but an intermediate one in the healing process.
