ABSTRACT
Adult Still's disease (ASD) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by the triad of intermittent high fever, evanescent rash and polyarthralgia or polyarthritis. We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with ASD and persistent erythematous papule on neck and upper part of the trunk. The presence of fixed lesions is not characteristic of ASD, but its appearance during development of the disease suggests that they are a manifestation of it. Recently, other skin manifestations of ASD have been published, but they are not well-known.

La enfermedad de Still del adulto (ESA) es una enfermedad inflamatoria sistémica poco frecuente de etiología desconocida. Se caracteriza por la tríada de fiebre alta intermitente, rash evanescente y poliartralgia o poliartritis. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 29 años con ESA y pápulas eritematosas persistentes en el cuello y la parte superior del tronco. La presencia de lesiones fijas no es característico de la ESA, pero su aparición durante el desarrollo de la enfermedad sugiere que son una manifestación de la misma. Recientemente otras manifestaciones cutáneas de la ESA han sido publicadas, pero no son bien conocidas
