Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease that primarily affects women in their reproductive age. Its typical manifestations include cutaneous symptoms such as alopecia, malar rash, and generalized rash, as well as oral ulcers. The study focuses on a challenging diagnostic case involving an atypical presentation of SLE associated with thymoma-related multiorgan autoimmunity.
