Abstract

A young man with underlying acute myeloid leukaemia presented with acute onset of fever and erythematous papules and plaques with pustules on the face and limbs. The clinical and histological findings were compatible with a diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome. He was treated with topical steroid and topical antibiotics with complete resolution of the skin lesions. In this article, the condition of Sweet's syndrome will be reviewed.
