Abstract:
Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) is a rare, self-limited, neutrophilic dermatosis characterized histologically by a neutrophilic infiltration around the eccrine coils and necrosis of the eccrine glands. It occurs most commonly in patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia and other malignant disease, but, other associations, such as infections, drugs or even in generally healthy individuals. We report a case of 45-year-old Korean woman with numerous erythematous papules on her trunk after treatment with intravenous administration of placental extracts. The hisopathological findings were compatible with neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis.
