Abstract:
Rowell's syndrome is described as erythema multiforme(EM)-like lesions in the presence of lupus erythematosus(LE) associated with immunoserological characteristics of speckled antinuclear antibodies and positive tests for anti-Ro/La antibodies and rheumatoid factor. We report a case of Rowell's syndrome in a 28-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus for 13 years, who presented with targetoid eruptions on the right arm and with positive immunoserologic findings as above.
