Abstract
A 38-year-old male had arthritis since 8 years and erythematous papules, plaques, cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules over face, ears, trunk, and extensors of arms since 2 years.

Unusual associations were: tapered fingers with depressed scars on their tips, low ESR - (5mm 1st hour). Raynaud’s phenomenon and exaggeration of lesions after methotrexate.
