Bullous Cellulitis-like Sweet Syndrome in a Patient with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Neutrophilic dermatoses comprise a wide spectrum of inflammatory diseases with overlapping features characterized histologically by the presence of an aseptic neutrophilic infiltrate in the epidermis, dermis, and/or hypodermis and are often associated with systemic inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. Here we report a case of a 75-year-old man who developed painful indurated plaques with a vesicular, bullous, and even hemorrhagic appearance similar to cellulitis on his right leg along with a fever that raised his body temperature up to 39℃ and malaise.
