Loreto Heredia, Javier Arellano, Yamile Corredoira

• Rowell's syndrome is characterized by an association of lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme, with distinctive laboratory findings. Its treatment is similar to lupus. We report a 16-year-old female presenting with skin lesions, laboratory and histology consistent with this entity. Because of the spread of cutaneous involvement and development of epidermal detachment, she required therapy with intravenous corticosteroids and gamma globulin.
