Abstract

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands is a recently described disorder. It is still debatable if it constitutes a separate entity, a variant of Sweet syndrome or pyoderma gangrenosum or an overlap disorder of both. We report the clinical features, histopathological findings, and evolution of a 35-year-old patient with the diagnosis of neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands and distant lesions on the forehead.

Key words:
neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands
Sweet syndrome
pyoderma gangrenosum
Resumen

La dermatosis neutrofílica del dorso de manos es un cuadro clínico de descripción reciente. Si constituye por sí misma una entidad, si se trata de una variante del síndrome de Sweet, del pioderma gangrenoso o de una superposición entre ambos continúa siendo motivo de debate. Presentamos las características clínicas, hallazgos histopatológicos y evolución de una paciente de 35 años con diagnóstico de dermatosis neutrofílica del dorso de manos y lesiones a distancia en frente.

Palabras clave:
dermatosis neutrofílica del dorso de manos
síndrome de Sweet
pioderma gangrenoso
