Photodistributed pustular acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis revealing an acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract

Abstract Sweet syndrome is a rare inflammatory dermatosis that can be associated with various diseases, including leukemias. Physicians should be aware that a photodistributed clinical presentation of a pustular SS may reveal underlying malignancies, particularly hemopathies. If the hemopathy is known, recurrence lesions should be suspected of a relapse.
