Abstract

Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis which is referred as Sweet's syndrome (SS) is a dermatological condition characterized by fever, erythematous rash, and leukocytosis. SS can be idiopathic or associated with malignancies or medications. We present a rare case of SS which developed shortly after starting midostaurin in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
