Abstract
- Sweet's syndrome (SS) or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis has been reported to occur in association with many conditions. We report two cases of SS at the site of a postmastectomy lymphedema. A localized variant of SS restricted to an area of postmastectomy lymphedema is an often unrecognized complication of breast cancer. Moreover, attempts to treat SS using various methods might prolong the duration of treatment. Therefore, SS should not be confused with other disorders such as erysipelas, cellulitis, herpes zoster, and contact dermatitis.
