Abstract:
A patient is presented with a history of longstanding pulmonary sarcoidosis, who developed rapidly progressive cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus. These 2 diseases have rarely been reported in the same patient. The literature on this association is reviewed and possible common immunopathologic mechanisms are discussed.
