“…Sweet's paper includes no reference because he could find no similar case in the literature. However, a later search revealed that a syndrome resembling what would soon be named ‘Sweet syndrome’ had been described as a nonspecific skin manifestation in patients with leukaemia …”

Pyoderma gangrenosum, a dramatic ulcerative skin disease, and Sweet syndrome, a papular dermatosis, were described independently. It was subsequently shown that they share many characteristics, including clinical overlap and the frequent association with multisystemic disorders. The group of the neutrophilic dermatoses encompasses these two dermatoses, as well as other conditions having in common an aseptic neutrophilic infiltrate predominating in the epidermis and/or the dermis and/or the subcutis. Some patients also experience neutrophilic infiltrates in other organs, defining the neutrophilic disease. Recent research suggests that the neutrophilic dermatoses could be considered as the cutaneous expression of the autoinflammation, an aberrant hyperproduction of interleukin-1. Autoinflammation is responsible for monogenic diseases, and is also involved in the mechanism of many polygenic conditions, including the neutrophilic dermatoses.

“…However, prior to Dr. Sweet's 1964 publication, Costello et al [29] described a 16-year-old girl with acute myelogenous leukemia and recurrent cutaneous lesions of variable morphologies in 1955. Retrospectively, several authors have acknowledged that Costello et al 's patient represents the first report of malignancy-associated Sweet's syndrome.…”

Colchicine Treatment in a Patient with Neutrophilic Dermatosis Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Neutrophilic dermatoses (ND) are characterized by epidermal and dermal infiltrates of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), without any infectious or other detectable agents as a cause. We describe a case of ND, which very rapidly improved upon colchicine treatment. The patient was a 67-year-old female with an 8-month history of dusky-red, tender, swollen plaques and nodules with superimposed vesicles and bullae on the buttocks, hands, and ankles associated with rheumatoid arthritis. The diagnosis of ND was made on the basis of the clinical and histopathological features of the skin lesions. She was treated with 0.6 mg of oral colchicine twice daily. Within one week, the erythematous plaques and arthralgia began to recede and disappeared within four weeks. In our case, colchicine seemed to improve the signs and symptoms of ND and appeared to be more effective than the other drugs we had used.
