Although it may occur in the absence of other known disease, Sweet′s syndrome is often associated with hematologic disease (including leukemia), and immunologic disease (rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease)and various other conditions In this article, we present a review of this syndrome along with a rare case of sweets syndrome associated with Trigeminal Neuralgia.
