Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Sweet syndrome is an inflammatory disease characterized by fever, neutrophilia,
papules and erythematous plaques, and a skin neutrophilic infiltrate. Syphilis has been reported
among the infectious causes of Sweet syndrome. Syphilis can present atypical manifestations;
a rare presentation is nodular syphilis, characterized by nodules with granulomas and plasma
cells at histopathology. This case report presents a 20-year-old woman patient, with plaques and
nodules, and systemic symptoms. The histopathological exam revealed both non-tuberculoid
granulomas and a dense infiltration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the dermis. These
findings, plus laboratory abnormalities, characteristic of both conditions, were conclusive for
Sweet syndrome and nodular syphilis association.
