Histiocytoid sweet syndrome

Histiocytoid Sweet's syndrome (HSS) is a variant of Sweet's syndrome (SS) that clinically resembles SS but differs histologically by infiltrates, predominantly composed of immature cells of the myeloid lineage. Medications such as proteasome inhibitors have been reported to cause HSS but there has been little discussion on the underlying mechanism. Here we report two cases of HSS associated with a proteasome inhibitor. Both patients were on ixazomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma and presented with acute erythematous plaques on the upper half of the body...

In 2005, a new histologic variant of Sweet syndrome (SS) has been described and termed histiocytoid SS (HSS). Clinically, patients had a typical SS, but on skin biopsy, the infiltrates were composed of immature nonblast myeloid cells. Nearly 50% of patients with HSS have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). HSS may be the first manifestation leading to the diagnosis of MDS. In 2015, a new category of myeloid dermatosis has been proposed, called myelodysplasia cutis, describing the specific skin infiltration by myelodysplastic cells in patients with MDS...

BACKGROUND: "Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic" (VEXAS) syndrome is caused by acquired somatic mutations in the ubiquitin-activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) gene. Sweet-syndrome-like skin disorders (and especially histiocytoid Sweet syndrome (HSS)) may be associated with VEXAS syndrome. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the clinical and histopathological features of HSS in patients with VEXAS syndrome. METHODS: The skin biopsies with a histological diagnosis of HSS had been collected at Rennes University Medical Center (Rennes, France) between October 2011 and January 2022...

Sweet syndrome is a neutrophilic dermatosis associated with multiple disorders. This retrospective case-series study of patients with Sweet syndrome in a tertiary hospital in Spain from 2001 to 2021, explores clinicopathological characteristics of Sweet syndrome and variables associated with malignancy, presence of autoinflammatory disorders and differences between histological subtypes. A total of 93 patients were identified: 30% idiopathic, 34% malignancy-associated, 29% reactive to infections or drug-associated, and 6% with an autoimmune/inflammatory condition...

CONTEXT.—: Myelodysplasia cutis is an emerging concept in cutaneous neoplasia. Many of these cases were previously included under the umbrella of histiocytoid Sweet syndrome. However, with the advent of next-generation sequencing, cutaneous involvement by myelodysplastic syndrome is being increasingly recognized. OBJECTIVE.—: To review histiocytoid Sweet syndrome and myelodysplasia cutis and discuss our current understanding of these entities. Additionally, to discuss how next-generation sequencing can be applied in the evaluation of cutaneous infiltrates of immature histiocytoid cells...

CD30+ cells are typically part of lymphoproliferative disorders but can also be seen in inflammatory dermatoses. We present a case of 47-year-old man with a history of B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who presented with fever, leukocytosis, and papulonodular skin lesions, involving the extremities and trunk. A punch biopsy specimen demonstrated papillary dermal edema with a neutrophilic and histiocytic infiltrate extending into the subcutis. The infiltrate also harbored scattered large cells that were positive for CD30 and demonstrated the immunohistochemical profile of monocytes...

BACKGROUND: Sweet syndrome (SS), also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is an immunologic syndrome characterized by widespread neutrophilic infiltration. Histiocytoid Sweet syndrome (H-SS) is a histopathologic variant of SS. While SS most commonly occurs in adults, this case report discusses an infant patient who presented with H-SS. CASE PRESENTATION: Through a multidisciplinary approach, this patient was also found to have very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) and Mevalonate kinase-associated disease (MKAD)...

Giant cellulitis-like Sweet syndrome (GCS) is the most recently defined variant of Sweet syndrome (SS) which could clinically mimic wide-spreading cellulitis. Although there has been only paucity of reports in the literature, it mostly appears at lower half of the body and histologically shows dense infiltration of neutrophils with occasional histiocytoid mononuclear cells. Although its exact etiology has not been clarified, abnormal conditions (e.g., infection, malignancy and drugs) could be related triggering factors and trauma itself can be one of the causative elements as a 'pathergy phenomenon'...

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase type 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive monogenic autoinflammatory syndrome that is classically characterised by polyarteritis nodosa, systemic vasculitis and stroke. The spectrum of disease manifestations has broadened to encompass a range of cutaneous, vascular and haematological manifestations. We report a novel association in two sisters with heterozygous p.R169G/p.M309l mutations in ADA2 with low serum ADA2 activity who both presented similarly with clinical and histological features consistent with histiocytoid Sweet syndrome...

BACKGROUND: Giant cellulitis-like Sweet syndrome (SS) is a rare subtype of SS, and reports of the combined histiocytoid type of pathology are scarce. Here, we report a case of SS with distinctive clinical presentations and which was difficult to distinguish from cellulitis. By sharing this case and a discussion of the related literature in detail, we aim to provide clinicians with new insights into the characteristics of histiocytoid giant cellulitis-like (HGC)-SS and the pathogenesis of SS...

With the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines have been administered all around the world probably more than ever. Even though they are considered safe, with such a huge quantity of doses used, many adverse effects including cutaneous ones were reported. We report here the case of a male adult with a history of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance who presented with an extensive cutaneous eruption of indurated erythematous papules and plaques 2 days after receiving his first dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine)...

Sweet Syndrome belongs to a group of diseases known as neutrophilic dermatoses. An uncommon variant named Histiocytoid Sweet Syndrome (HSS) can be associated with a variety of conditions, including cancer, infections, drug toxicity and others. Here we present an instance of HSS in an HIV-positive patient in an infectious disease setting.

Three cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6, including palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib, have been approved for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and clinical spectrum of cutaneous adverse events in patients with breast cancer following therapy with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors. A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases up to November 2020 to evaluate studies published from 2015 to 2020...

Histiocytoid Sweet's syndrome (HSS) is a rare variant of Sweet's syndrome that typically has similar clinical findings to the classic variant but is diagnosed after histologic review. It is characterized by a dermal infiltrate composed of immature, nonblastic myeloid cells with a histiocytic appearance. In this report, we present a case of a 56-year-old Hispanic man with history of stage IIIB adenocarcinoma of the colon who presented with a case of HSS that mimicked a zosteriform cutaneous metastasis. Several types of cancers can metastasize to the skin, leading to varying cutaneous presentations...
