    Author: Duarte AF, Mota A, Pereira M, Baudrier T, Azevedo F.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 Mar 15; 14(3):15. PubMed ID: 18627716.
    Abstract:
    Rowell syndrome is a rare distinctive entity first described in 1963 by Rowell and coworkers. It consists in erythema multiforme-like lesions associated with lupus erythematosus. Zeitouni et al. recently redefined the major and minor diagnostic criteria. Major criteria are lupus erythematosus, erythema multiforme-like lesions and speckled pattern of antinuclear antibody. Minor criteria are chilblains, positive anti-La (SS-B) or anti-Ro (SS-A) antibody and reactive rheumatoid factor. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman, with no previous history of lupus erythematosus, who developed erythema multiforme-like lesions and laboratory findings consistent with Rowell syndrome.
