Abstract
The association of lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme first described in 1963Â is known as Rowell's syndrome. While diagnostic criteria have been established in the literature, the reality of this entity is still contested. The annular lesions of subacute lupus erythematosus may be confused with the lesions of erythema multiforme. As suggested in the above section, other authors consider Rowell's syndrome to be a singular entity. Indeed, our patient developed lesions distinct from those initially suggesting subacute lupus erythematosus, in particular: the target-like aspect of the elementary lesions, mucosal involvement, a distinct histological aspect, and dissociated outcomes. Ultimately, the definition of Rowell's syndrome remains highly debated.
