Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis was first described by Robert Douglas Sweet in 1964(hence the eponym Sweet syndrome). This condition is a reactive process characterized by the abrupt onset of tender, red-to-purple papules and nodules that coalesce to form plaques. These plaques usually occur on the upper extremities, face, or neck and are typically accompanied by fever and peripheral neutrophilia.

OBS

Sweet syndrome can be divided into three types on the basis of the underlying trigger. The first and most common type is classic or idiopathic Sweet syndrome ... The second type can manifest aggressively in concert with an underlying malignancy. ... The third type is an iatrogenic form that is recognized on the basis of reports of a variety of therapies bringing about lesions.
