Annular erythema with Sjogren's syndrome (AESS) is occasionally found, especially in Asian patients, which is classified into three types. We present a case of Sjogren's syndrome showing various types of AESS with anti-signal recognition particle antibody-positive polymyositis. We successfully treated the eruption and myositis with a low dose of prednisolone. Every onset of annular erythema coincided with elevation of serum creatine kinase levels, which suggests the correlation between the activities of annular erythema and polymyositis.
