Clear cell acanthoma is an uncommon type of benign epithelial tumor. Typically,
it is a solitary lesion found on the lower limbs. It presents as a nodule or
small plaque with slow and well-defined growth. Diagnosis used to be clinical
and histopathological, but the advent of dermoscopy has led to an increase in
diagnostic accuracy. We describe a case in which dermoscopy proved highly useful
for diagnosis of the lesion.
Sweet’s syndrome is a rare dermatosis with little-known pathogenesis, associated
with some clinical conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases,
inflammatory bowel diseases, vaccination, medications and neoplasms. Hematologic
malignancies are the diseases most related to paraneoplastic Sweet’s syndrome,
but this clinical entity can also be found occasionally in some solid tumors,
including genitourinary tract tumors. We report a rare case of paraneoplastic
Sweet’s syndrome associated with the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
