ABSTRACT
Rowell’s Syndrome [RS] was first described by Rowell and coworkers in 1963. Since then there are very few case reports and some authors have even questioned the existence of RS as distinct entity. This is a rare syndrome in which patients with Systemic lupus Erythematosus [SLE] present with Erythema Multiforme [EM]. SLE presenting only with target lesions of EM is uncommon especially in males as more than 90% of SLE patients are females of child bearing age group. Here we are reporting a rare case of RS in a 30 year old male which will add to the fact that RS in not a mere overlap syndrome but a distinct entity.
