Abstract;A 48-year old female patient with butterfly rash like eruption having a history of Basedow's disease visited our hospital. We diagnosed this case as Sjoegren syndrome based on the findings of a salivary gland biopsy, Schirmer test, Rose-Bengal test, and positive anti-SS-B antibody. The butterfly rash like eruption disappeared after the systemic administration of 10mg/day of predonisolone. We present our case since a case of Sjoegren syndrome with butterfly rash like eruption and/or Basedow's disease is rare. (author abst.)
