Beschreibungen/Notizen

• White rosettes are shiny white structures seen as four oval-shaped points that come together in the center. They resemble four-leaf clover [1]. Earlier it was thought they were specific for actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma, but they are noted in many other conditions [2]. With polarized light dermoscopy, it is evident that rosettes are seen only and they are due to the optical effect between polarized light and follicular structures [3]. Here, authors describe cases of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) demonstrating rosettes under polarized dermoscopy.
