Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects various organs, so it is easily confused with other diseases and thus misdiagnosed. SLE is defined only by classification criteria and not by diagnostic criteria, so other diseases must be excluded before SLE can be diagnosed. We report a case of peripheral T cell lymphoma that mimicked SLE initially.
