Abstract
- Sweet's syndrome, also referred to as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is characterized by tender, erythematous vesiculopapules and plaques, a high fever and general weakness. Histologically, a dense infiltration is composed predominantly of neutrophils, with edema in the upper dermis. We report two cases of sweet's syndrome with atypical clinical features: one presented with a carcinoma en cuirasse-like clinical feature, and the other presented with a cellulitis-like clinical feature.
