Sumario:Diagnosing and treating neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) in clinical practice can be challenging because of various presentations and stubborn treatment responses. Establishing a diagnosis is necessary, though, because many NDs are associated with underlying conditions, including malignancy. In this article, the authors provide information about Sweet syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, and other NDs and describe their clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and associated conditions. The authors also present a case report describing the coexistence of two NDs and hidradenitis suppurativa in one patient and review the treatment modalities for those conditions.
