“…Since 2011, there have been around 80 reported cases in the literature. 3 Although the age range of reported cases of RS is from the second to tenth decades of life, 4,5 the disease seems to exhibit a predilection for middle-aged women. 4 We describe a unique case of RS due to its occurrence in a middle-aged man and its recurrence initiated by ultraviolet (UV) exposure.…”

Rowell syndrome is a controversial entity composed of erythema multiforme-like lesions coexisting with lupus erythematosus. We describe a case of a 61-year-old male with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with photoexacerbated flaccid bullae and erosive plaques after repetitive sun exposure. Based on his clinical history, biopsy, and laboratory findings, he fulfilled diagnostic criteria for Rowell syndrome as described by Zeitouni et al. With oral prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, mycophenolate mofetil, and local wound care with petrolatum, the patient’s number of lesions decreased, as well as his pain and tenderness. He subsequently did not develop any new erosions. This case highlights the diagnostic criteria of this hybrid clinicopathological syndrome and its nature of photosensitivity.

We report a case of 30-year-old female who presented initially with hair loss, photosensitive malar rash, morning stiffness and synovitis. She was diagnosed with Rhupus syndrome based on clinical and laboratory findings. Few months after starting hydroxychloroquine, esomeprazole and azathioprine, and failing methotrexate (because of erosive pillinduced esophagitis), she presented with generalized maculopapular dusky reddish rash in her body, back and extremities. Her anti-double stranded-DNA, anti-nuclear antibody, anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB were positive. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody was moderately positive. She had low complements: C3 and C4. Herpes simplex IgM and mycoplasma tested negative. Skin biopsy from right arm showed evidence of erythema multiform. She met the criteria for the diagnosis of Rowell syndrome. We managed her with hydroxychloroquine, prednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil and topical agents and discontinued esomeprazole. We also review the management of Rowell syndrome in the literature.
