Discoid lupus erythematosus presenting as unilateral blepharitis.

: A 39-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of unilateral blepharitis that did not respond to conventional treatment. Punch biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus. Unilateral blepharitis as the only presenting sign of discoid lupus erythematosus is uncommon but should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with asymmetric blepharitis.
