Abstract: A 34-year-old woman without an autoimmune history was started on lamotrigine 10 days ago for unprovoked seizures. She presents with a 2-day history of Nikolsky-negative violaceous papules and plaques of the malar region (Fig 1, A). There were a few macular and atypical targetoid lesions on the trunk (Fig 1, B and C). The patient had extensive lip and oral erosions with positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (titer of 1:160, speckled pattern) and anti-Sjogren's-syndrome-related antigen A (anti-SSA/Ro) antibodies.
