Abstract
Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis also known as Sweet Syndrome is an inflammatory skin disease with an unknown etiopathogenesis, characterized clinically by sudden onset, painful papules, nodules and plaques and histopathologically dense dermal neutrophilic infiltrate. Malignancies, drugs, infections, systemic inflammatory diseases and rarely pregnancy are all considered in the etiology. Here is a patient diagnosed as Sweet Syndrome, with lesions appeared shortly after delivery in her first pregnancy and in the last trimester in her second pregnancy. Her lesions quickly responded to systemic steroid treatment.
