Other rare categories of neutrophilic dermatoses include Sweet’s syndrome, an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, and neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsum of the hand.
Neutrophilic invasion can also occur in other organs. “These extracutaneous lesions are also ‘sterile’ neutrophilic abscesses, which are often misdiagnosed as infections,” Dr. Jackson said. The most common site of extracutaneous neutrophilic infiltration is the lungs, though any organ system may be affected.
Dr. Jackson disclosed that he has received research support, honoraria, consulting fees, and other support from Abbvie, Amgen, Celgene, Dermira, Galderma, Genentech, Janssen, Lilly, Medimetriks, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Promius, and Top MD.
