Early in the course of myeloblastic leukemia a patient concurrently developed febrile neutrophilic dermatosis and sterile acute
myositis
. The dermatitis and
myositis
were unresponsive to antibiotic therapy but remitted within a few days of institution of steroid treatment. The patient died of myocardial infarction. At autopsy the dermis was normal. Previously effected muscles were scarred. The overlying fascia and subcutaneous septa were fibrotically thickened. In addition, segmental acute
aortitis
was detected. Acute
myositis
and
aortitis
may reflect further organ manifestations of the Sweet's reactivity pattern. It is proposed that Sweet's
myositis
and dermatitis may evolve into a fibrosing
myositis
and panniculitis.
