Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)-like systemic lupus erythematosus is a recently described entity and more cases are being published in the literature today. We describe the case of a 15-year old patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed TEN that initially started with erythema multiforme (EM)-like lesiones. We discuss this case according to the published literature on this new entity.

Keywords : Toxic epidermal necrolysis; Erythema multiforme; Stevens-Johnson syndrome; Systemic lupus erythematosus; Cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
