[L., a wolf. See {Wolf}.]
1. (Med.) A cutaneous disease occurring under two distinct
forms.
Note: Lupus erythematosus is characterized by an eruption of
red patches, which become incrusted, leaving
superficial scars. L. vulgaris is marked by the
development of nodules which often ulcerate deeply and
produce great deformity. Formerly the latter was often
confounded with cancer, and some varieties of cancer
were included under Lupus.

Scorpio.
