  • Title: Sweet's syndrome with abscess-like lesions in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia.
    Author: Yoon TY, Ahn GB, Yang TH, Shin HS.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 2000 Dec; 27(12):794-7. PubMed ID: 11211797.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 49-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukemia associated with Sweet's syndrome and abscess-like lesions mimicking an infectious disease. Although blisters may be included in the clinical spectrum, frank non-infectious abscesses have not been reported as far as we know. Clinicians should be familiar with this clinical and histopathologic variant of Sweet's syndrome. It is mandatory to make every effort to find an infectious cause for abscesses before a diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome is made.
