Sweet’s syndrome (Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is a rare skin disorder characterized by fever, neutrophilic leucocytosis, and erythematous skin nodules. Patients are usually middle-aged women presenting with painful skin lesions. This syndrome is known to have extra-cutaneous manifestations involving the joints, kidneys, liver, and lungs.
