Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease that involves various organs and has a vast spectrum of multi system involvement. SLE is an autoimmune illness which is rarely found in males but when present holds a poor prognosis with a predisposition to develop various manifestations. This case involves a 50-year-old male who developed myositis as a complication of lupus despite adequate immunosuppressive therapy.
