Abstract:
Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a recently described skin disorder regarded as a localized variant of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome). The lesions of NDDH are characterized by erythematous plaques, pustules, and hemorrhagic bullae on the dorsal surface of the hands. Herein, we report a case of NDDH in a 52-year-old man with concomitant involvement of the ankle. The patient presented with well-demarcated erythematous papules, patches, and plaques on the dorsum of the hands as well as erythematous papules on the left ankle for 3 days. The lesions responded rapidly to systemic corticosteroid therapy.
