| Summary: | Rowell syndrome is a rare disease consisting of erythema multiforme-like lesions coexisting with lupus erythematosus along with characteristic immunological findings. Besides the dermatological manifestations, Rowell syndrome can also have significant neuropsychiatric symptoms such as cognitive dysfunction, mood disorders, psychosis, seizures and peripheral neuropathy in some patients. Diagnosis and subsequent management of such a rare syndrome with uncommon presentations can be challenging. We present a case of a 54-year-old female, diagnosed with Rowell syndrome, who presented with psychotic symptoms and was subsequently treated for the same. |
