Giant cellulitis-like Sweet syndrome mimicking cellulitis: a case report

A cautious stance is essential when identifying Sweet syndrome in individuals displaying erythematous plaque-like skin lesions in atypical areas of the body with uneven distribution. Such presentation may signal Sweet syndrome rather than a common infection. If conventional treatments, such as antibiotics, fail to resolve symptoms, consider Sweet syndrome as a potential diagnosis. This approach ensures timely and appropriate treatment, preventing treatment delay and misdiagnosis.

Abstract

A cautious stance is essential when identifying Sweet syndrome in individuals displaying erythematous plaque-like skin lesions in atypical areas of the body with uneven distribution. Such presentation may signal Sweet syndrome rather than a common infection. If conventional treatments, such as antibiotics, fail to resolve symptoms, consider Sweet syndrome as a potential diagnosis. This approach ensures timely and appropriate treatment, preventing treatment delay and misdiagnosis.
