Abstract:
A 44-year-old man had Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis), accompanied by erythematous tender subcutaneous nodules resembling erythema nodosum(EN). The EN-like lesions histologically showed a septal panniculitis with predominantly neutrophilic in-filtrates. The association of Sweet's syndrome with EN seems to be uncommon and only a few cases have been reported until the present. We describe a patient with Sweet's syndrome associated with acute EN.
