Abstract
|
|
|
|
Rowell`s syndrome is a rare entity consisting of lupus erythematosus with associated erythema multiforme-like lesions and characteristic immunological findings, and it was first described by Rowell et al. in 1963. Because of the clinical similarities between subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and Rowell`s syndrome, it is difficult to clinically distinguish between the annular-polycyclic type of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and Rowell`s syndrome. We report a case of 18-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented erythema multiforme-like eruptions on both thighs. Simultaneously, she developed urticarial-like rashes on her trunk consistent with atypical skin lesion of lupus erythematosus. She also developed a positive antinuclear antibody with speckled pattern and positive anti-Ro antibody.
