Bullous sweet’s syndrome in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract EN

-A fifty-two-year-old Bahraini male with metastatic colon cancer developed pustules in the upper limbs which increased in size and number and were associated with pain, ulceration and itchiness.

A biopsy revealed diffuse dermal and perivascular neutrophilic infiltrate, confirming the diagnosis.

This case revealed that the bullous variant of Sweet’s syndrome is closely linked to malignancies, including solid tumors; however, it is uncommon.
