Abstract

A 78-year-old man presented simultaneously with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) and Sweet syndrome (neutrophilic dermatosis). He was subsequently investigated for and found to have Sjögren syndrome. We believe that the simultaneous occurrence of the above cutaneous manifestations are very suggestive of and should prompt investigation for Sjögren syndrome.
