A 9‐year‐old girl newly diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed a localized linear papulovesicular eruption over the right dorsal hand and ulnar forearm. The skin findings were clinically suggestive of herpes zoster, lichen striatus, or lichen planus‐lupus erythematosus overlap. However, histologic, immunofluorescent, Immunoelectron microscopic, and immunobiot studies revealed findings compatible with bullous SLE. Our patient is noteworthy because she is the first one reported with bullous SLE presenting in a localized linear pattern. She is also the second‐youngest reported patient with bullous SLE.
