Resumen

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic
dermatosis, is an infrequent dermatological disorder in
pediatrics. Clinically it is characterized by the development of
papular and/or nodular lesions of a reddish-violet coloration
with local hypersensitivity. We report the case of a 5-year-old
female who consulted 1 month after the appearance of the
lesion in the nasal arch. A skin biopsy was performed and it
reported diffuse dermatitis with a predominance of neutrophil
polymorphonuclear cells, epidermal necrosis and absence
of vasculitis. No microorganisms were identified. It was
considered compatible with Sweet syndrome. It is important
to consider this diagnosis in similar clinical cases and other
more frequent diagnoses must be ruled out first
