Cutaneous manifestations are very frequent and the commonest description is an evanescent salmon\u2010pink rash, although many atypical skin presentations have been described in literature. We present the case of an atypical cutaneous manifestation of clinically typical AOSD in a 30\u2010year\u2010old man presenting with a slightly pruritic maculopapular and urticarial erythematous rash on the face and limbs, with purpuric features on the lower limbs, which gradually spread to the whole body, associated with overlying nonfollicular pustules. The patient also presented with high spiking fever, odynophagia, diffuse arthralgia, and generalized asthenia. The histological analysis of a skin biopsy showed a few subcorneal collections of neutrophils, a slight epidermal spongiosis, many suprabasal necrotic keratinocytes, and a moderate mixed inflammatory infiltrate in the superficial dermis. Following various investigations ruling out any other diagnosis, we have diagnosed Still's disease, for which the patient has been prescribed corticosteroids, with good initial results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cup.70155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]],"date-time":"2026-06-19T03:44:57Z","timestamp":1781840697000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Atypical Skin Presentation of Adult\u2010Onset Still's Disease With Histological Description: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Nordmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Mazza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Menzinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Pathology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"Division of Dermatology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Pathology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"Division of Dermatology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Bogiatzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Pathology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Vandenberghe\u2010D\u00fcrr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Allergology and Immunology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Blanchard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Stirnemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000006318","article-title":"Adult\u2010Onset Still's Disease With Atypical Cutaneous Manifestations","volume":"96","author":"Narvaez Garcia F.
