Abstract
An unusual case of overlap syndrome which evolved over a 12-year period is described. The patient initially presented with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. She then developed seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis and subsequently vasculitis with positive lupus serology. There was no evidence that she had mixed or undifferentiated connective tissue disease, and antibody to ribonuclearprotein was negative. This unusual combination of connective tissue disorders in one patient is reported and the literature is reviewed.Keywords
