Abstract
- The lesions of neutrophilic dermatosis (pustular vasculitis) of the dorsal hands clinically resembled those of Sweet's syndrome and showed similar histologic evidence of a dense dermal neutrophilic infiltrate. We, herein, present a case of neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands in a 70-year-old woman with bacterial endocarditis. The patient presented with hemorrhagic pustular blisters on the dorsal hands. Histopathologic findings were pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, intraepidermal pustules, histiocytic infiltration and a few perivascular neutrophilic infiltrations. The skin lesion improved spontaneously.
