description Childhood onsets of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are quite rare and comprise less than 20% of all cases of lupus. Prepubertal onset is even rarer, as most children with SLE belong to the adolescent age group.

We report a 12-year-old boy with SLE who presented clinically with malar rashes, joint pain and oral ulcers.
