Sweet's syndrome with adenocarcinoma of lung: a rare case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sweet's syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, and its relationship with tumors is unknown at present. Sweet's syndrome in patients with solid tumors, especially adenocarcinoma of the lung, is extremely rare. At present, only 1 case of an operative patient has been reported in the literature. Diagnosing lung cancer with Sweet's syndrome is not easy, when there is a fever with an unknown cause and erythemas, especially when the erythemas do not disappear after antibiotic treatment, a skin biopsy is much important. Although the exact mechanism of the disease and its link to lung cancer are unknown, our case shows that the active surgical treatment of the primary disease and appropriate glucocorticoid therapy are effective means.
