Abstract
- Rowell's syndrome is a rare and distinct clinical entity that has been described as lupus erythematosus associated with erythema multiforme-like lesions with the immunological findings of speckled antinuclear antibodies and positive tests for anti-Ro/La antibodies and rheumatoid factor. We report here on a case of discoidlupus erythematosus in a 39-year-old woman with targetoid eruptions on both palms, the lower legs and soles and she also showed abnormal immunoserologic findings. Most of these features were consistent with Rowell's syndrome.
