ABSTRACT

Sweet syndrome is the prototype of neutrophilic dermatosis, which typically presents an intense inflammatory infiltrate of neutrophils in the epidermis and/or dermis, apparently due to a hypersensitivity reaction.
This is a case of a 31 year-old woman with fever of more than three weeks duration and erythematous nudosities on her arms and legs. The histological study of a skin lesion showed a lobular inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and neutrophils, with excellent response to prednisone. Therefore, it was concluded as subcutaneous sweet syndrome.
