Histiocytoid Sweet’s syndrome in a patient with myelodsyplastic syndrome: report and review of the literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neutrophilic dermatoses are a group of disorders characterized by skin lesions for which histological examination reveals intense epidermal and/or dermal inflammatory infiltrates composed primarily of neutrophils without evidence of infection. The myelodysplastic syndromes consist of a heterogeneous group of malignant hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplastic and inadequate blood cell production with a variable risk of transformation to acute leukemia. Rarely, histiocytoid Sweet's syndrome occurring in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome has been described. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman with a history of myelodysplastic syndrome who developed histiocytoid Sweet's syndrome. We also review the literature and characterize patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who have developed histiocytoid Sweet's syndrome.
