Abstract
Rowell's syndrome (RS) is a rare presentation of lupus erythematosus (LE) with erythema multiforme‐like lesions associated with antinuclear, anti‐La (SS‐B)/anti‐Ro (SS‐A) antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF) positivity. This syndrome is suggested to be a different variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus by some authors in literature. Here we present a 64‐year‐old woman with LE and a 51‐year‐old woman with LE and Sjögren syndrome (SS) who had erythema multiforme‐like eruptions and discuss the coexistence of lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme.Keywords
