Association of Sweet Syndrome and Erythema Nodosum

Sweet's syndrome – a comprehensive review of an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis

“…The lesions often mimic erythema nodosum when they are located on the legs [170]. Even in a patient whose Sweet's syndrome has previously been biopsy-confirmed, tissue evaluation of one or more new dermal nodules may be necessary to establish the correct diagnosis since Sweet's syndrome can present concurrently (Figures 6 and 7) [21,125,187-189] or sequentially [170] with erythema nodosum [1,2,4,17,21,187,190,403]. …”

“…There are also several conditions for which the association with Sweet's syndrome is possibly bona fide (Table 6). In addition, the validity of the association between Sweet's syndrome and many of the conditions that have been observed in patients with the dermatosis remains to be established (Table 7) (Figure 9); indeed, the detection of that condition in an individual with Sweet's syndrome may merely represent a coincidental occurrence [1,2,5,11-20,30,36-43,69-126,158-161,164,166,186-190,195,214,231,236,259-339,401,404,407,409-411,413,415,417-419,421,424,425,431,433]. …”

Sweet's syndrome and erythema nodosum: a companionship or a spectrum? – a case report with review of the literature

“…It is not yet clear whether erythema nodosum‐like lesions accompanying Sweet's syndrome are true erythema nodosum or a manifestation of Sweet's syndrome itself. Most interestingly, to our knowledge, apart from the isolated case reports of concurrent Sweet's syndrome and biopsy‐confirmed erythema nodosum, all reported erythema nodosum‐like lesions which were biopsied and examined were reported as septal panniculitis, as discussed by Ginarte and Toribio 9 . There are also cases in which the infiltrate primarily involves the subcutaneous tissue.…”

UZLOVATAYa ERITEMA: SOVREMENNYE ASPEKTY

“…По мнению ряда авторов, сочетание синдрома Свита (острого фебрильного нейтрофильного дерматоза, протека-ющего с сыпью и лихорадкой) и УЭ встречается редко [31], как правило, при саркоидозе, инфекции верхних дыхатель-ных путей, остром миелобластном лейкозе [32], болезни Крона [30]. Другие исследователи полагают, что одновре-менное появление двух указанных синдромов наблюдается в 15-30% случаев и может быть вызвано общим этиологиче-ским агентом (стрептококковая инфекция верхних дыха-тельных путей или воспалительное заболевание кишечника).…”
