title: [A man with skin lesions of his face].
abstract: A 69-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis developed a discoid rash on his face years after the initiation of treatment with adalimumab. Serological tests were positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and autoantibodies against Sjögren's syndrome-related antigen A (SSA). We diagnosed him with 'lupus-like syndrome'. After discontinuation of the adalimumab therapy and the use of topical corticosteroids, his symptoms resolved quickly.
