Abstract

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis(NEH) is a self-limited inflammatory dermatosis primarily induced by chemotherapeutic agents. The pathogenesis and possible cause of NEH remain unknown. NEH may represent as a reaction pattern to chemotherapeutic agents or bacterial infection. Also it is developed on palmoplantar areas in healthy children or young adults. In some cases it is developed as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. We report a case of neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis that developed in a patient suffering from aplastic anemia after or during treatment with cyclosporine, oxymetholone and folic acid.
