ABSTRACT
Tjalma's syndrome is a benign combination of ascites, pleural effusion, and elevated CA-125 occurring in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Reports of Tjalma's syndrome are scarce. An elevated CA-125 level often suggests the possibility of the presence of a malignant tumor. We report a case of generalised erythema and blisters with pruritus, massive unilateral pleural effusion and elevated CA-125. This patient was finally diagnosed with bullous systemic lupus erythematosus after exclusion of tumour and other maculopapular disorders. We hope that this particular case may provide a more comprehensive and novel diagnostic idea of systemic lupus erythematosus and pleural effusion, avoiding unnecessary anxiety, laboratory tests and surgical interventions.
