Abstract

Histiocytoid Sweet syndrome is a rare variant of the acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome) which was first described in 2005 by Requena, et al., and is characterized by inflammatory infiltrate composed of immature myeloid cells similar to histiocytes. 
Clinically it is similar to the classical variant and is associated with underlying conditions such as autoimmune diseases and hematological malignancies. 
It has shown a relationship with the consumption of certain drugs, mainly granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and some antimicrobial drugs such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. It has an adequate therapeutic response to corticosteroids and has a generally benign course with low risk of recurrence.
