We presented a case of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome) in 57 years-old female. This case is the 31 st case in the literature and the first case in Korea. Erythematous plaque was presented on the face with tendency of recurrences. Histologically a dense inflammatory cell infiltration composed predominantly of polymorphonuclear neutrophiles, lmphocytes and histiocytes was seen in dermis.
