Abstract EN
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease that may affect the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, nervous system, and serous membranes and/or other organs.
Lymphadenopathy is characterized by changes in the characteristics and size of the lymph nodes.

It has been reported that lymph node enlargement is observed in 25-67% of SLE patients.
We reported this thirty-three-year patient with presented with lymph node enlargement in cervical, axillary, and inguinal, joint pain, renal involvement and respiratory involvement diagnosed as Systemic lupus erythematosus according to ACR/EULAR criteria immunological and clinical domain SLICC (systemic lupus international collaborating clinics.
In conclusion, lymphadenopathy is a manifestation in SLE.
As illustrated by the case presented here, it can precede the diagnosis of SLE by many years; It is possible that the factors that induce lymph node proliferation are also responsible for the development of autoantibodies.
