“…The dermatological lesions are mostly located within traumatic areas but may become widespread 1. Sweet syndrome occurs rarely during or after radiotherapy 2–10. Mostly, it occurs sporadically or in association with solid cancers or haemopathy, drugs, inflammatory disease of the digestive tract 11…”

During the follow-up of a woman treated by radiotherapy for an in situ carcinoma of her left breast, radio-induced skin lesions were diagnosed. They appeared not to be simple radiodermatitis but radio-induced Sweet syndrome. Discussions were led on the benefit of completing the last session of radiotherapy for such a low-grade malignancy while considering the risk of complication from radio-induced disease. General and local corticotherapy rapidly eradicated the fever and asthenia, while the skin lesions disappeared gradually. Moreover, biological improvement was noticed. The presented features of Sweet syndrome are almost similar in their initial phase to the radiodermatitis that is seen in common medical conditions.

Insights Into the Pathogenesis of Sweet's Syndrome

Sweet's syndrome, also known as Acute Febrile Neutrophilic Dermatosis, is a rare inflammatory condition. It is considered to be the prototype disease of neutrophilic dermatoses, and presents with acute onset dermal neutrophilic lesions, leukocytosis, and pyrexia. Several variants have been described both clinically and histopathologically. Classifications include classic Sweet's syndrome, malignancy associated, and drug induced. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in Sweet's syndrome have been difficult to elucidate due to the large variety of conditions leading to a common clinical presentation. The exact pathogenesis of Sweet's syndrome is unclear; however, new discoveries have shed light on the role of inflammatory signaling, disease induction, and relationship with malignancy. These findings include an improved understanding of inflammasome activation, malignant transformation into dermal infiltrating neutrophils, and genetic contributions. Continued investigations into effective treatments and targeted therapy will benefit patients and improve our molecular understanding of inflammatory diseases, including Sweet's syndrome.

Radiation therapy‐induced neuro‐Sweet disease in a patient with oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Neurological involvement is a rare extracutanenous manifestation of Sweet's syndrome. We present a novel case of radiation therapy-induced neuro-Sweet disease in a patient receiving treatment for an oral squamous cell carcinoma.
