Article Synopsis
- Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory condition that includes symptoms like daily fevers, joint pain, skin rashes, and spleen enlargement, often requiring tests to rule out blood cancers.
- A case study of a 38-year-old man revealed symptoms such as fatigue, high fever, night sweats, and skin rashes, leading to extensive testing, including CT and PET/CT scans that showed enlarged lymph nodes and high metabolic activity in his spleen and bone marrow.
- Ultimately, biopsies of the lymph node and bone marrow showed signs of hyperreactivity but no cancer, confirming AOSD as a diagnosis of exclusion, particularly when high ferritin levels and systemic symptoms are present

She presented with multiple papular, pustular, and vesicular skin lesions, some with umbilication and with irregular borders, on the face, neck, trunk, inguinal area, upper extremities, and right leg.
