RESUMO
Laugier-Hunziker syndrone is a rare, pigmentary disorder of the lips, oral mucosa, and nails. The absence of intestinal polyposis differentiated it from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. We describe a 16-year-old boy with multiple, brownish, lenticular macules on the lips, oral mucosa, perianal area and anal mucosa, and on the digits of his fingers and toes, in wham intestinal polyposis was not detectable.

We report a case of idiopathic subcutaneous type Sweets syndrome in an otherwise healthy 52-year-old woman. She had suffered from recurrent erythematous tender plaques on the trunk and extremities for 4 years. Histopathological examination revealed heavy infiltration of neutrophils and many cytophagic cells in the subcutaneous fat tissue. We suggest that Sweets syndrome, subcutaneous type, should be included in the differential diagnosis of panniculitis.
