Abstract
Generalised lymphadenopathy is a common manifestation, but usually non-specific and indicative of multiple diseases. Autoimmune diseases, including lupus erythematosus, may be the first manifestation of this finding, and therefore should be considered for differential diagnosis. In the cases presented, clinically and radiologically disseminated lymphadenopathy, they were confounding variables for rapid diagnosis, which is reached through the proper clinical and para-clinical context and with histopathological confirmation. Given that lupus is a potentially fatal disease, it is important to recognise this presentation.
