A 30 year old man presenting with a 10 year history of delayed pressure urticaria had a secondary lupus-induced double mitral and aortic regurgitation which necessitated double valve replacement within 2 years. The anatomical appearances of the valvular lesions were very unusual and suggest a new anatomo-clinical form of the classical Libman-Sacks endocarditis. In addition to infective endocarditis, systemic lupus erythematosus may also lead to valvular lesions necessitating valve replacement. The association of S.L.E. and delayed urticaria is rare, and also merits publication.
