Sweet syndrome with bitter outcomes in cervical cancer: A case report, Mar 2021.

"In our case, the diagnosis of Sweet Syndrome was associated with cervical cancer recurrence just two months following chemoradiation and MRI showing no definitive residual tumor. When the characteristic rash and fever are seen, clinicians must recognize the potential link between the physical findings and malignancy. Routine cancer screenings should be emphasized, and full physical exam should be performed. If Sweet Syndrome is missed, an opportunity for cancer diagnosis or recurrence may also be missed, resulting in poor oncologic outcomes. For our patient, Sweet Syndrome diagnosis allowed for earlier cancer evaluation with PET scan, which provided her more time to make decisions about future therapy." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
