Abstract: We report a rare case of autoimmune ascites in a 72-year-old woman presenting an overlap syndrome involving diffuse systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The diagnostic complexity of overlapping systemic autoimmune diseases and challenges in identifying the predominant disease are highlighted. This case emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive evaluation in unraveling complex overlap syndromes in autoimmune conditions.
