Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with targetoid lesions: “Rowell Syndrome” or a rare manifestation of Lupus Erythematosus

Rowell syndrome is usually diagnosed by the presence of erythema multiforme like targetoid lesions in the patients of cutaneous or systemic lupus erythematosus and characterized by specific serological or immunological profile like speckled antinuclear antibody pattern, antibody against saline extract of human tissues (anti-SjT) and positive serum rheumatoid factor.The absence of a universally ...

Pulmonary lesions of disseminated lupus erythematosus.

Two patients were seen recently with distinctive pulmonary parenchymal lesions due to disseminated lupus erythematosus. The more classic manifestations such as skin lesions, carditis, polyserositis, and nephritis, were not at first apparent, but typical L.E. cells were demonstrated in the peripheral blood of both patients, and the diagnosis was confirmed by further study. This prompted us to re...

Renal vascular lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus.

In the past, necrotizing vasculitis has been considered to be one of the dominant intrarenal vascular abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To test the validity of this statement, 70 consecutive renal biopsies from patients with SLE were reviewed. Light microscopy (LM) and immunofluorescence (IF) studies documented abnormalities, including thrombosis and nephrosclerosis, in 30 pa...
