Rowell's syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rowell's Syndrome was described by Professor Neville Rowell and colleagues in 1963. Patients with the syndrome have lupus erythematosus (discoid or systemic), annular skin lesions like erythema multiforme associated with a characteristic pattern of immunological abnormalities. It is uncommon but occurs world wide.
