Key Points

  • The objective is to detail an unusual complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) involving nerve compression.
  • Case evaluation of a patient with SLE presenting pelvic lymphadenopathy.
  • Interdisciplinary team approach for diagnosis and management.
  • Clinical assessment and imaging to identify nerve involvement.
  • Diagnosis of obturator neuropathy confirmed through imaging.
  • Pelvic lymphadenopathy identified as the cause of nerve compression.
  • Timely interdisciplinary evaluation improved management and outcomes.
