A 60-year-old female was diagnosed with progressive systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease of two months’ duration. The patient was treated for Raynaud phenomenon with aspirin, nifedipine, colchicine, and naproxen. Two weeks after treatment, she developed widespread erythematous patches with blistering eruptions on the face, torso, and extremities, and also had erosion on the oral mucosa. Skin biopsy for histopathology and direct immunofluorescent studies were suggestive of lupus erythematosus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of toxic epidermal necrolysis-like acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus in a patient with progressive systemic sclerosis.
