ABSTRACT

Rowell syndrome is considered to be an unusual association between systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), erythema multiforme-like lesions and an immunological pattern consisting of speckled ANA, positive rheumatoid factor and positive anti-La (SSB) antibodies. We present the case of an 81 year old woman with late-onset SLE who developed an erythema multiforme-like rash, with a speckled antinuclear antibodies (ANA) immunofluorescence pattern and a positive rheumatoid factor. The key in establishing the diagnosis was the biopsy of the lesion, which set the diagnosis of Rowell syndrome.
