AB  - BACKGROUND: The origin of collagen autoimmune diseases is not fully understood. 
      Some studies postulate a mechanism of molecular mimicry or heterologous immunity 
      following viral infections triggering autoimmunity. Apart from infections, other 
      exogenous factors such as visible light or X-rays have been reported to incite 
      autoimmunity. CASE REPORT: We report a case of histologically and serologically 
      confirmed subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) following radiotherapy for breast 
      cancer. DISCUSSION: The close temporal and spatial correlation between 
      radiotherapy and onset of SCLE in this patient suggests that an autoimmune 
      reaction may have been triggered locally by functionally altering the immune 
      system and breaking self-tolerance.
