Bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome (BADAS) is a neutrophilic dermatosis, characterized by the occurrence of arthritis and skin lesions related to bowel disease with or without bowel bypass. We report an unusual case of BADAS in a 15-year-old white male with congenital aganglionosis of the colon and hypoganglionosis of the small intestine and multiple bowel surgeries in childhood complicated by short bowel syndrome. He presented with recurrent peripheral polyarthritis, tenosynovitis, and painful erythematous subcutaneous nodules located on the dorsolateral regions of the legs and on the dorsa of the feet. Histological examination disclosed a neutrophilic dermatosis confirming the diagnosis of BADAS.Although an uncommon disease, especially at pediatric age, it is important to evoke the diagnosis of BADAS in children and adolescents with bowel disease, because treatment options and prognosis are distinct from other rheumatologic conditions.

A 14-month-old girl with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) was admitted with a flare of her bowel disease and subsequently developed high fevers, joint pain, and skin lesions during her hospitalization. Workup demonstrated bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome in the setting of VEO-IBD, a neutrophilic dermatosis rarely reported in children that can be challenging to diagnose and treat, with limited literature for patients under 2 years of age.

Article Synopsis
- - Neutrophilic dermatosis of the hands (NDDH) is a recently identified localized variant of Sweet's syndrome, characterized by violaceous papulonodules on the hands, lacking true vasculitis findings, as outlined by Strutton et al. (1996) and Galaria et al. (2000).
- - A 46-year-old man presented with a painful, ulcerative lesion on his left hand, which started as a small papule and progressively worsened despite various treatments for suspected bacterial or fungal infections.
- - Upon examination, the lesion measured 4×7 cm and was associated with atrophic scars from previous similar lesions; laboratory tests indicated leukocytosis and altered liver function
