(a and b). Malignancy-associated Sweet's syndrome in a woman with dermatosis-related laryngeal carcinoma. Solid tumor-associated Sweet's syndrome in a 69-year-old woman in whom a workup after the appearance of Sweet's syndrome lesions revealed an unsuspected recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. A tender, erythematous-based, vesicular-appearing nodule of Sweet's syndrome with central ulceration and crust located proximally on the dorsum of the right second digit is shown (a). The histologic features of the Sweet's syndrome lesion revealed a neutrophilic dermatosis; the papillary dermis was edematous and contained a dense infiltrate of neutrophils (b) (hematoxylin and eosin, × 50).
