RESUMEN
Sweet's syndrome is a reactive process characterized by the abrupt onset of tender erythematous plaques and typical histological findings. Currently, the entity recognized as Sweet's syndrome ranges from classic Sweet's disease to a more aggressive neutrophilic process that may be associated with various diseases, malignancy and drug intakes. Also, extracutaneous manifestations of Sweet's syndrome have the potential to involve other organ systems. Pulmonary manifestation of Sweet's syndrome is rare and may be experienced as a cough, dyspnea, pleurisy or pulmonary infiltration upon chest X-ray. We, herein, report a 46-year-old woman with Sweet's syndrome who showed pulmonary infiltration and pleural effusion upon chest X-ray.
