Subcutaneous Sweet’s Syndrome Presenting With a Single Cutaneous Lesion on the Thigh, Aug 2024.
"To date, there have been few reports of SSS, and to our knowledge, only one other case of SSS with a single cutaneous lesion has been documented."
"A 36-year-old woman with a medical history of only atopic dermatitis presented with an intensely painful cutaneous lesion on her right thigh, accompanied by a high fever reaching 41.4°C that had begun two days prior. She also experienced malaise, headache, NAUSEA, VOMITING, and joint pain." - NAUSEA AND VOMITING ARE NOT COMMON SYMPTOMS OF SWEET'S SYNDROME.
Subcutaneous Sweet’s syndrome, otherwise known as Sweet’s panniculitis, is a variant of Sweet’s syndrome where the subcutaneous tissue, the fatty tissue under the 2 upper layers of skin, becomes inflamed. In some people with subcutaneous Sweet’s syndrome, both the upper skin layers and fatty tissue are affected at the same time. This has led to debate over whether or not inflammation that only affects the fatty tissue and inflammation that affects both the upper skin layers and fatty tissue should be classified separately.
Sometimes, subcutaneous Sweet’s syndrome can develop secondary to other conditions or be triggered by something. When this happens, it’s most commonly associated with a group of blood cancers known as myeloid disorders, but has also occurred in association with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and other cancers, infection, and medication. cureus.com/articles/287505#!/
