Abstract
- Sweet's syndrome, also referred to as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis(AFND), is an unusual entity characterized by painful erythematous plaques. Histologically a dense perivascular infiltrate composed predominantly of neutrophils without discernable vascular wall change. Sweet's syndrome can be associated with several disorders, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, various malignant tumors, and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, but the association of Sweet's syndrome with rheumatoid arthritis seems to be uncommon and no case has ever been reported in Korea. Herein we describe a patient who had Sweet's syndrome associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
