abstract={We report a case of Adult-onset Still¡¯s Disease (AoSD) in a 55-year-old male without prior rheumatological history. The disease is an autoinflammatory condition with features including fevers, joint pain, and salmon-colored lesions. Diagnosis is through clinical classification systems including the Yamaguchi or Fautrel criteria and considered after a thorough diagnosis of exclusion. However, the disease is rare and difficult to recognize given its nonspecific presentation. This patient depicts the challenges in noticing the disease, especially in the setting of confounding physical exam findings. Prognosis is favorable, but prolonged periods without treatment can lead to the development of harmful complications including fulminant hepatitis, lymphohistiocytic activation syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.},
