A 57 year-old Chinese man with anaemia and thrombocytopenia due to monosomies 5 and 7-associated myelodysplasia developed progressive Sweet's syndrome. Recurrent episodes of cutaneous manifestations responded dramatically to corticosteroid therapy. However, progressive pulmonary infiltrates unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy resulted in respiratory failure and death.

A case of severe Sweet's syndrome associated with myelodysplasia is reported. The skin lesions responded to high doses of systemic steroids, but recurred rapidly on dose reduction. Treatment with a low dose of cyclosporin resulted in sustained clearance of the skin lesions, and was associated with a stable haemoglobin level, without the need for further blood transfusions.

We present a patient with refractory anemia (RA) who developed Sweet's syndrome during the treatment of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF). A 30-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of anemia. He was diagnosed as MDS (RA). As a phase II study in MDS, rhG-CSF therapy was begun. Fever associated with cutaneous lesion developed over the left shoulder. Antibiotics showed no effects. Skin biopsy revealed Sweet's syndrome. This skin lesion disappeared thoroughly with discontinuance of G-CSF and administration of prednisolone. To examine whether Sweet's syndrome was related to the G-CSF therapy, we analyzed the effect of G-CSF on the function of patient's neutrophils. However, the function of patient's neutrophils was not activated by G-CSF administration.

We report the development of acute, tender, erythematous plaques in a 65 year old female with Myelodysplastic Syndrome transforming to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. The clinical presentation strongly suggested Sweet's syndrome. Histopathological examination of the plaques showed a normal epidermis, dermal and subcutaneous oedema, and large numbers of polymorphs in the panniculus. The eruption responded quickly to systemic steroids, with recrudescence when steroid dosage was reduced. She remained symptom free when prednisolone dosage was reduced more slowly.

Seven patients with a complex form of neutrophilic dermatosis are reported. Clinically, they had variable associations of four types of lesions: blisters/pustules, plaques, nodules and ulcerations. Histologically, a neutrophilic infiltrate was observed at variable levels in the epidermis, dermis and subcutis. Systemic manifestations were present in all cases (general symptoms, joint, renal, ocular and lung involvements). Three patients had an associated disease (myelodysplasia, metastatic carcinoma, IgG gammopathy). Steroids were the most efficient treatment. These observations, as well as a review of the literature, support the opinion that the neutrophilic dermatosis represents a continuous spectrum encompassing four well-defined entities: subcorneal pustular dermatosis, Sweet's syndrome, erythema elevatum diutinum and pyoderma gangrenosum. We propose that the different patterns of the neutrophilic dermatosis are the most obvious manifestations of a potentially multisystemic neutrophilic disease and allow its recognition.

The complication of Sweet's syndrome and interstitial pneumonia occurred in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome. Superoxide anion production by the patient's neutrophils was considerably higher than that by neutrophils obtained from normal controls after stimulation with opsonized zymosan, phorbol myristate acetate, or myristic acid. Prednisone, which a potent inhibitor of superoxide anion production by neutrophils, dramatically improved the skin and pulmonary lesions, suggesting that they were parts of the same clinical spectrum associated with the superoxide anion hyperproduction.

Severe dyspnea and pulmonary infiltrates were associated with recurrent episodes of Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) in a 54-yr-old woman with myelodysplasia. Lung and skin biopsies revealed a sterile infiltration of the interstitial tissues by mature neutrophils. Corticosteroid therapy resulted in rapid clinical improvement; however, recurrent episodes were increasingly resistant to therapy, and she ultimately died from respiratory failure. Sweet's syndrome involving the lung is rare, with only two previously reported cases documented by lung biopsy. Prompt recognition of Sweet's syndrome with lung involvement is important because of the potential for severe respiratory compromise.

Structural rearrangements in the long arm of chromosome 3, del(3)(q12q25) and t(3;5)(q21-25;q31-33), were observed in bone marrow cells from 2 patients with myeloid neoplastic disorders (myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukaemia) and acute febrile neutrophil dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome). 3 of the 4 patients with leukaemia-associated Sweet's syndrome and acquired chromosome abnormalities known from the literature also had 3q changes, in 2 involving band 3q21.

Previous reports have noted an association between Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) and leukaemia, and less commonly other haematological abnormalities. We report a previously unrecognised association between Sweet's syndrome (SS) and sideroblastic anaemia (myelodysplastic syndrome--refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts). Both patients were males and one had prominent extracutaneous features of SS. Bone marrow cytogenetic studies were normal in this latter patient and neither patient showed progression to leukaemia.
