Abstract:
We report a case of idiopathic subcutaneous type Sweets syndrome in an otherwise healthy 52-year-old woman. She had suffered from recurrent erythematous tender plaques on the trunk and extremities for 4 years. Histopathological examination revealed heavy infiltration of neutrophils and many cytophagic cells in the subcutaneous fat tissue. We suggest that Sweets syndrome, subcutaneous type, should be included in the differential diagnosis of panniculitis.
