Neutrophilic Dermatosis of Dorsal Hands and Legs

Abstract

We present a case of neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands (NDDH), with lesions on the dorsal part of the hands with pustular features and histologic picture of vasculitis. This case highlights the notion that low dose oral steroid can offer a useful first therapeutic option for NDDH. Interstingly, in:this case, a few additional lesions were located on the legs, making it different from some previously described cases of NDDH. As with other authors, we believe that this recently described neutrophilic dermatosis is a localized and acral variant of Sweet syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of NDDH from Iran.
