Abstract

Coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis with connective tissue diseases is very rare. Here, in this study, we describe a coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis and discoid lupus erythematosus in a 35-year-old man. He presented with a 5-year history oflow back pain and concurrent development of a discoid rash. Inflammatory low back pain, HLA-B27 positivity and bilateralactive sacroiliitis confirmed the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. Discoid lupus erythematosus was diagnosed based on askin biopsy. There are reports of discoid lupus associated with medications, particularly with tumour necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) blocking drugs. However, the patient presented here had coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis and discoid lupusbefore starting such treatments.
