A 35‐year‐old J apanese female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE ) presented with fever, erythematous papules and nodules, and polyarthralgia. Skin biopsy of a nodule was compatible with S weet's syndrome. The papules/nodules were well treated with an oral glucocorticoid. Thirty cases of S weet's syndrome associated with lupus erythematosus ( LE ) have been reported in the published work. The mean age was 34.2 years. They showed a higher male ratio (male : female, 1:2) compared with patients with SLE (1:9) and S weet's syndrome (1:3.7). Sweet's syndrome may occur as a manifestation of LE , and a moderate dose of an oral glucocorticoid will result in a good response.
