We present a rare case of a 61-year-old woman presenting with a widespread erosive eruption on her torso and extremities. Although the lesions were histologically compatible with toxic epidermal necrolysis, clinically the patient was hemodynamically stable, had no mucosal involvement and had no relevant medical history or potentially incriminating medications. Further investigations uncovered a new diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, with this toxic epidermal necrolysis–like eruption being the first presentation of the disease. This case highlights the importance of broadening the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute widespread cleavage of the epidermis, using the spectrum of acute syndrome of apoptotic pan-epidermolysis as a reference.
