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.
