A skin eruption consistent with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) occurred in a patient taking leflunomide for rheumatoid arthritis. The eruption resolved after discontinuation of the medication. Suppression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–effector mechanisms by leflunomide may have played a role in the pathogenesis of this disorder.
