Extracts from the Lectures of the 32nd Nordic Congress of Dermato-Venereology, Tampere, Finland
Stockholm County Council (2 million inhabitants) has been
estimated to be 0.7/100,000 persons/year and for all SCLE
1.0/100,000 with an estimated prevalence of 8.9–20/100,000
persons. The incidence of SLE in Sweden is 4.8/100,000 persons/
year. In a recent study, CLE incidence in Sweden was shown
to be 4.0/100,000. More than 10% of the whole group of CLE,
and > 20% of SCLE patients, progressed to SLE within 1 year.
CLE can be treated with local treatments by using steroid or
tacrolimus creams. Often oral treatment is needed, hydroxychloroquin in the ?rst line but quinacrine can be added if
available. Prednisolone can be combined especially in the
beginning to get a more rapid response. Other possibilities
are immune suppressive metotrexate, atsathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil or acitretin/isotretinoin and even thalidomide. In the most complicated cases of SLE can rituximab
or belimumab be used both of which have also effect on the
mucocutaneous symptoms.

Pigmented Lesions and Melanoma
Olle Larkö: New Imaging Techniques in the Diagnosis of Melanoma.
The incidence of malignant melanoma is increasing rapidly in
the Nordic countries. Also, mortality is high. A dermatologist
is better at diagnosing melanoma than doctors from other
disciplines. However, even dermatologists miss a substantial
fraction of possible melanomas. Hence, new imaging devices
must be developed to facilitate diagnosis. So far we have relied
on dermatoscopy, but more innov ?????????????????????)?????????%????????M%M
