AI Article Synopsis

  • Neutrophilic dermatosis can cause unusual symptoms outside the skin, primarily involving inflammatory cell infiltrates with neutrophils and no signs of infection.
  • Rare cases have been noted where these conditions affect the lungs, while splenic involvement is even less common.
  • This report details a unique case of an aseptic splenic abscess associated with Sweet's syndrome, highlighting the diversity of extra-cutaneous manifestations.

Article Abstract

Extra-cutaneous manifestations of neutrophilic dermatosis are exceptional and diverse: they consist of inflammatory infiltrates with neutrophil polymorphonuclears, without evidence of infectious agents. Localisations to the lung are the most frequently observed. A single observation of spleen involvement has been reported in a case of Sneddon-Wilkinson's disease. Herein we report the case of an aseptic splenic abscess during the course of a Sweet's syndrome.
