Neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) refer to a group of cutaneous conditions histologically characterized by the dense accumulation of neutrophils in the skin in the absence of infection. NDs have been associated with underlying autoimmune connective tissue disorders (CTDs) such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren’s syndrome, and dermatomyositis. We describe a case of neutrophilic dermatoses as a manifestation of a SLE flare.
