We report the case of a young woman presenting productive cough and arthralgia in the left ankle. Chest radiography revealed multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules and abdominal echography and computerized axial tomography demonstrated various hepatic nodules. Definitive diagnosis of an intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor was reached by an open pulmonary biopsy. Liver involvement was confirmed by laparoscopy and biopsy.

We report the case of a 75-year old woman with collagenous colitis who presented with erythematous and edematous plaques on the periorbital and eyelid regions, accompanied by oral ulcers. Histopathology showed a dermal neutrophilic infiltrate plus mild septal and lobular panniculitis with lymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils. Five years earlier she had presented a flare of papules and vesicles on the trunk, together with oral ulcers; a skin biopsy revealed a neutrophilic dermal infiltrate and Sweet’s syndrome was diagnosed. Both the neutrophilic panniculitis and the Sweet’s syndrome were accompanied by fever, malaise and diarrhea. Cutaneous and intestinal symptoms disappeared with corticoid therapy. The two types of neutrophilic dermatoses that appeared in periods of colitis activity suggest that intestinal and cutaneous manifestations may be related.
