Abstract:
In 1963, Rowell et al. reported a new syndrome characterized by lupus erythematosus with erythema multiforme-like lesions and specific immunological abnormalities, termed Rowell syndrome. Herein, we report a case meeting the criteria for Rowell syndrome. A 30-year-old woman presented with annular, targetoid, erythematous, scaly papules and plaques on her face and the whole body. She also showed abnormal immunoserologic findings. A biopsy specimen confirmed lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme; therefore, she was diagnosed with Rowell syndrome.
