Abstrakt: Skin is involved in 80% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the second most affected after joint disease. Lupus-specific lesions include (a) acute ones viz. malar rash (80%), (b) subacute ones viz. photosensitive maculopapular dermatitis (50%), and (c) chronic ones viz. discoid rash. The lupus nonspecific lesions include; (a) nonscarring alopecia (86.67%), oral ulcers (56.67%), vasculitic lesions (33.34%), bullous lesions (10%), and Raynaud's phenomenon (6.67%). In this case report, we describe a patient with SLE and antiphospholipid antibodies that had developed a transient facial form of Raynaud's phenomenon that was not associated with disease activity and digital changes. Its association with SLE is discussed.
