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.
