Neonatal Sweet syndrome with associated rectovestibular fistula and review of the literature

Abstract

AbstractAn otherwise healthy 4‐week‐old term female of Japanese heritage presented with a 1‐week history of asymptomatic progressive, generalized skin lesions. The lesion morphology, distribution, and dermatopathology result was consistent with Sweet syndrome. The patient was found to have a congenital type H rectovestibular fistula. This case highlights the rare association of rectovestibular fistula in neonatal Sweet syndrome which has only been described in neonates of Japanese heritage.
