Abstract:
A 73-year-old woman developed a lingual infarction, Raynaud's phenomenon, cutaneous lesions, pancytopenia, and pleuritis. Serologic studies supported a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and anticardiolipin antibodies were detected in significant titers. This is the first reported case of SLE presenting with an infarction of the tongue.
