“…11 As to solid tumors, 2/3 of the cases are represented by genitourinary tract tumors, although there have been cases described in association with carcinomas of the breast, endometrium, ovaries, vagina, cervix, testicles, kidneys, stomach, rectum, and melanoma. [5][6][7]12,13 Associations between hematologic diseases and solid tumors have been reported, 5 and recently a case was published of this syndrome associated with two solid tumors. 6 In case # 7, the patient had a prior history of two solid tumors that had been promptly treated.…”

Sweet's syndrome was described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, as an entity he named acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. It is characterized by five main features: 1) sudden appearance of erythematous and tender plaques on the face, neck and extremities; 2) fever; 3) polymorphonuclear leukocytes; 4) predominantly neutrophilic dense infiltrate in the dermis, and 5) rapid response to steroid therapy. Sweet's syndrome can be classified into five groups: idiopathic, parainflammatory, paraneoplastic, drug-induced, and pregnancy-related. Twenty percent of cases are associated with malignancies; 85% out of them involve hematologic alignancies and the remaining 15%, solid tumors. A series of seven cases of Sweet's syndrome associated with neoplasms which were diagnosed from 2002 to 2006 is presented. Six cases were related to oncohematologic diseases and one to solid tumors. These results highlight the importance of the diagnosis of the syndrome, since it may predict tumor relapse or underlying disease progression. The timely use of diagnostic and treatment methods may improve the quality of life of these patients. The fact that oncology patients take multiple medications (a colony-stimulating factor) which may be associated with the onset of this entity must also be considered in excluding possible causes.

“…The first case of SS was reported by Robert Sweet in 1964 and was originally described as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (3). Based on the etiological factors of SS, the condition is now classified into classical/idiopathic, drug-induced and malignancy-associated subtypes (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). SS occurs worldwide, with no significant regional or racial differences (12,13).…”

Multi-organ Involvement of Sweet's Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review

The hallmark of Sweet's syndrome (SS) is the infiltration of mature neutrophils in the upper dermis. We herein report a case of SS with multi-organ involvement. A 32-year-old man presented with fever, anemia and dyspnea. He was given antibiotics, without any improvements. Later, a number of erythematous lesions appeared, accompanied by deteriorating respiratory and cardiovascular functions. A diagnosis of SS was confirmed on a skin biopsy, and the patient was given corticosteroids, the dose of which was reduced after one month. The organ function subsequently deteriorated, and he ultimately died of multi-organ failure. Early recognition of SS with multi-organ involvement is important in patients with SS.
