Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sweet’s syndrome is characterized by a constellation of clinical symptoms, physical features, and pathologic findings, which include fever, leukocytosis, tender erythematous skin lesions, and a diffuse infiltrate consisting predominantly of mature neutrophils in the upper dermis. Pulmonary involvement in Sweet’s syndrome is rare. In addition, a pleural effusion has been rarely reported in the pulmonary involvement of Sweet’s syndrome. We report a case of Sweet’s syndrome presenting with pulmonary involvement and a bilateral pleural effusion in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome.
