Adult-onset Still's diseas e(AOSD) is a rare, systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, characterized by spiking fever, skin rash, arthralgia or arthritis, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, sore throat and serositis. The typical skin rash in AOSD is an evanescent, erythematous maculopapular lesion, often associated with spiking fever. However, other atypical skin lesions such as urticaria are rarely seen. Here, we report a case of a 24-year-old female patient in whom an urticaria-like rash was an uncommon clinical feature of AOSD.
