AB  - Abstract In this paper, we report a case of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with 
      Sjogren's syndrome (SS) in which the patient developed subacute cutaneous lupus 
      erythematosus (SCLE). A 72-year-old woman, who had a 10-year history of RA and 
      SS, developed annular erythematosus skin lesions involving her face, neck, and 
      extremities. Serological tests showed that anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies and anti-DNA 
      antibodies were elevated. Histological examination of the skin lesions 
      demonstrated the liquefaction degeneration of the epidermal basal layer and 
      perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration. The diagnosis of SCLE was made based 
      on the clinical features and skin histological findings. The disease was well 
      controlled with intralesional and systemic corticosteroids and became quiescent. 
      This case report demonstrates the concurrence of sero-positive RA, SS, and SCLE, 
      which seems to be quite rare.
