Malignancies are the most important differential diagnoses of AOSD which has been rarely reported in association with cancer. The present paper undertakes the study of a 69-year-old Tunisian woman with AOSD according to the diagnostic criteria of Yamaguchi. She was treated by prednisone, then associated with methotrexate. 18 months later, she developed a squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
