History

A 33-year-old woman with a 16-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) reports chronic bilateral foot pain and deformity. Serologic studies include an anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) at 1:5,120 titer (diffuse pattern), with very elevated anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and anti-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antibody titers. Serum C3 and C4 complement levels have been chronically low. SLE features have consisted primarily of mucocutaneous, articular, and serositis disease. The following radiographic images are obtained.
