Abstract

A 69-year-old Japanese man with recurrent annular erythema localized on palms and flexor surface of fingers with anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La antibodies, is reported. The present case indicates that even in an elderly man with atypical localization, annular erythema with autoimmunity may be considered and serological analysis should be performed. Systematic studies will be required to understand the relationship between 'recurrent annular erythema associated with anti-SSB/La antibodies' in Japanese, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) and 'annular erythema associated with Sjogren's syndrome'.
