Histiocytoid Sweet's Syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease described in 2005 as
a variant of the classical Sweet's Syndrome (SS). Histopathologically, the
dermal inflammatory infiltrate is composed mainly of mononuclear cells that have
a histiocytic appearance and represent immature myeloid cells. We describe a
case of Histiocytoid Sweet's Syndrome in an 18-year-old man. Although this
patient had clinical manifestations compatible with SS, the cutaneous lesions
consisted of erythematous annular plaques, which are not typical for this entity
and have not been described in histiocytic form so far. The histiocytic subtype
was confirmed by histopathological analysis that showed positivity for
myeloperoxidase in multiple cells with histiocytic appearance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
