Drug-induced lupus is a clinical syndrome that shares similar features with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The majority of patients present with symptoms such as arthralgia and myalgia. Hydralazine and procainamide are high-risk drugs for drug-induced lupus. Symptoms usually develop after months or years of use, but may also develop suddenly. Our patient also received TDM-1 treatment for 18 months. We present a case of TDM-1-associated drug-induced lupus in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. This is the first case of TDM-1-related drug-induced lupus reported in the literature.
