[h=3]Abstract[/h] A 53-year-old lady presented with a 5cm by 4cm erythematous, annular skin lesion with central clearance on the posterior aspect of her right arm (Figure 1). The patient was known to suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), controlled by a stable regimen of hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice daily, mycophenolic acid 360mg twice daily and prednisolone 5mg daily. The only cutaneous manifestation of her disease had been a malar rash at diagnosis nineteen years previously. The lesion started as a pruritic, erythematous papule on the posterior aspect of her right arm, coinciding with the exact location at which an influenza vaccine had been administered three days previously.
