Sažetak
Sweet’s syndrome or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is an uncommon skin disease of unknown cause and pathogenesis, occasionally associated with malignancy, which is mostly occurring in middle aged women. Clinically, painful plaqueforming inflammatory papules on the skin are accompanied by high persistent fever and arthralgia and the most consistent laboratory findings are peripheral leukocytosis with neutrophilia. We present a well-documented case of a 62 year-old female patient, with idiopathic Sweet’s syndrome, the first reported in Greece with oral lesions, describing its clinical and histological findings and the treatment, and we also review the relative literature focusing on cases with oral involvement.
