Chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (CANDLE) syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory disorder. Cutaneous manifestations of CANDLE syndrome include characteristic recurring violaceous annular plaques comprised of an immature dermal mononuclear cell infiltrate. In CANDLE syndrome, deleterious genetic mutations inhibit proteasome-immunoproteasome function, resulting in cellular accumulation of ubiquitinated waste proteins that activate type I interferon signaling to drive inflammation. We describe a report of successful treatment of a 12-year-old girl with CANDLE syndrome with tofacitinib.
