ABSTRACT

Sweet's syndrome is a rare disorder presenting with painful erythematous plaques or nodules of the skin with fever, leukocytosis, arthralgia and conjunctivitis.Sweet's syndrome occurs in association with malignant tumors in 10~20% of cases. Eighty five percent of the malignant tumors are hematologic malignancies, acute myelogenous leukemia being most common. Sweet's syndrome occurring in a patient with solid tumor is rare and pulmonary involvement of Sweet's syndrome occurring in a patient with a solid tumor has not been reported in world literature so far. We report a case of Sweet's syndrome presenting with pulmonary nodules in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.
