Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare, passively acquired autoimmune disease, caused by maternal autoantibodies. Characteristic clinical features of NLE are transient rash and congenital heart block (CHB), but also hematological abnormalities and hepatobiliary dysfunction may occur. Complications to the transient dermatitis are rarely described. We describe two patients with NLE and cutaneous manifestations. Both patients had involvement of the sun-protected genital skin and soles. New manifestations of NLE were gastrointestinal bleeding in one patient despite normal coagulation parameters, but with mucosal telangiectatic lesions found on sigmoidoscopy. In addition, one patient developed painful atrophy after plantar dermatitis on follow-up with need of orthopedic footwear. CHB was not found. In conclusion, NLE may be complicated with sigmoidal telangiectasia with rectal bleeding and painful plantar atrophy.
