Let R be a prime ring with involution satisfying x/2 ∊ R whenever xR. Assume that R has two nontrivial symmetric idempotents e1, e2 whose sum is not 1, and that the subrings determined by e1, e2, 1 — (e1 + e2) are not orders in simple rings of dimension at most 4 over their centers. Then if L is a Lie derivation of the skew elements K into R there exists a subring A of R, A ⊆ , a derivation D :ARC, the central closure of R, and a mapping T:RC, satisfying L = D + T on K and = 0.
