Numerous drugs have been linked to the induction or exacerbation of systemic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). This report presents the third case of the biologic abatacept as an exacerbating medication for SCLE. A 73-year old woman with a remote history of subacute cutaneous lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, well controlled on hydroxychloroquine, presented with worsening annular erythematous, slightly scaly plaques on her forearms and hands. She had been started on abatacept a month prior. She was diagnosed with SCLE exacerbated by abatacept given the clinical findings, time course, and skin biopsy with interface dermatitis. Her skin eruption cleared completely several months later after discontinuing abatacept and switching to tociluzumab, while remaining on hydroxychloroquine. This case highlights the need to consider abatacept as a potential exacerbating medication for SCLE in any patient with a new photodistributed papulosquamous eruption.
