Neutrophilic Eccrine Hidradenitis Simulating Orbital Cellulitis

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis secondary to infection with Serratia marcescens

“… 3 is a rare disease which is diagnosed by its characteristic histological picture, comprising a dense neutrophilic infiltrate surrounding eccrine secretory coils, leading to vacuolar degeneration and necrosis of eccrine epithelial cells. It may manifest clinically with infiltrated erythematous lesions, occasionally with a necrotic centre, forming solitary or multiple annular plaques, 1 disseminated small, sometimes confluent papules (as in our patient), or more rarely with localized oedema 4 or pigmented plaques. 5 The lesions are often palpable and may be studded with pustules; they last 10–15 days and may recur spontaneously.…”

Recurrent Neutrophilic Eccrine Hidradenitis in an HIV-1-Infected Patient

“…In 34/54 (63%) of the reported cases including ours, NEH developed in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and most patients were treated with cytarabine and anthracyclins [1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33, 34, 38]. However, NEH also develop in patients with other underlying malignancies, such as Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and cancers [3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 28, 31].…”

Neutrophilic Eccrine Hidradenitis in a Primary CNS Lymphoma Patient Receiving High-Dose Chemotherap

“…It has been previously reported in one case of Hodgkin's lymphoma and one pediatric case of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [4,5]. Demographics and clinical characteristics of these cases are summarized in Table 1 [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. NEH has also been described in adult patients with other malignancies and solid tumors, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, osteogenic sarcoma, testicular carcinoma, metastatic breast cancer, Bechet disease, HIV and Wilms tumor [2,4,5].…”
