“…This nonspecific subcutaneous reaction pattern is commonly idiopathic; a trigger is not identified in one third to one half of cases (2,8,9). Table 1 lists common and uncommon known causes of EN (1,6,10–12). The most common infectious cause and the most common cause in children is streptococcal upper respiratory infections (Lancefield Group A, Streptococcus pyogenes ), accounting for 28–44% of cases (1,13).…”

Erythema nodosum is the most common type of panniculitis; it may be due to a variety of underlying infectious or otherwise antigenic stimuli. The pathogenesis remains to be elucidated, but both neutrophilic inflammation and granulomatous inflammation are implicated. Beyond treating underlying triggers, therapeutic options consist mainly of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, symptomatic care, potassium iodide, and colchicine. Erythema induratum (nodular vasculitis) is a related but distinctly different clinicopathologic reaction pattern of the subcutaneous fat. It is classically caused by an antigenic stimulus from Mycobacterium tuberculosis but may be associated with several other underlying disorders. After appropriate antimicrobial treatment in tuberculous cases, therapy for erythema induratum is similar to options for erythema nodosum.

“…Many cases of EN are idiopathic and less associated with malignancies compared with SS [ 5 , 6 ]. EN can be a cutaneous marker of lymphoma/leukemia [ 24 , 25 ] and carcinoid/colorectal/pancreatic cancers [ 26 , 27 ] and can be a marker of recurrence of those malignancies. However, the presence of recurrent SS and EN in the same patient without an underlying secondary cause, as we reported, suggests that patients may have recurrent SS or concurrent/sequential SS and EN that is not always indicative of an underlying chronic disease or a malignancy; instead, it could be idiopathic.…”

Sequential occurrence of recurrent Sweet syndrome and erythema nodosum without an underlying secondary cause: a case report

Background Sweet syndrome is a rare cause of acute fever and painful erythematous skin plaques. Erythema nodosum is acute or chronic tender erythematous skin nodules of bilateral shins. The concurrent presence of both dermatoses is rare but reported in the literature. There are no reported cases of recurrent and sequential Sweet syndrome and erythema nodosum without an underlying secondary cause. Case presentation We report the case of a 64-year-old Asian woman, who had possible Sweet syndrome 12 years ago and biopsy-proven erythema nodosum 5 years ago, presenting with an acute episode of Sweet syndrome. Extensive investigations did not reveal any underlying secondary cause. Conclusions Recurrent Sweet syndrome and sequential presence with erythema nodosum raises suspicion if Sweet syndrome and erythema nodosum are different presentations of one disease, which warrants further study. This case proves that recurrent Sweet syndrome and erythema nodosum can occur in healthy individuals without an underlying malignancy or secondary cause.

ÖzetReaktif dermatozlar infeksiyonlar, inflamatuar hastalıklar, ilaç kullanımı ve maligniteler başta olmak üzere birçok nedenle ortaya çıkabilirler. Böyle bir dermatozla karşılaşan hekimler dermatozu tedavi etmenin yanı sıra altta yatan nedeni araştırmaya da yönelirler. Bu derlemede, reaktif dermatozların paraneoplastik potansiyelleri değerlendirilerek tanı sonrası etyoloji, takip ve tedavide yapılması gerekenler irdelenmiştir. Sum maryReactive dermatoses may occur related to many underlying causes including infections, inflammatory diseases, medications and malignancies. In the management of these dermatoses the investigation of underlying cause is crucial besides the therapy of dermatosis. In this review, mainly the paraneoplastic potentials of reactive dermatoses have been evaluated and additionally the etiology, follow-up and treatment have been discussed. Recent literature about figurated erythemas (erythema annulare centrifugum, erythema gyratum repens, necrolytic migratory erythema), neutrophilic dermatoses (Sweet's syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, subcorneal pustular dermatosis) and erythema nodosum have been scrutinized. (Turkderm 2013; 47: Suppl 2: 69-77) Key Words: Paraneoplasia, reactive dermatoses, Sweet syndrome, erythema gyratum repens, necrolytic migratory erythema, erythema annulare centrifugum, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum
