Description

A case of Sweet’s syndrome associated with acute myelogenous leukemia was reported. This patient was 52-year-old man who had fever and tender, vesicular, erythematous plaques on the elbow area, hand, back and buttocks. Histologically, the skin biopsy showed a dense dermal infiltrate of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Forty-eight days after the onset of the dermatosis, hematological examinations showed findings of acute myelogenous leukemia. From a study of 27 published reported cases of Sweet’s syndrome associated with malignant neoplasm plus our case, we conclude that Sweet’s syndrome may be one of the non-specific cutaneous lesions of acute myelogenous leukemia.
