Neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands: A unilateral presentation

Abstract

A rare localized version of Sweet syndrome known as neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands is characterized by bluish or hemorrhagic papules, bullae, and nodules on the dorsal hands. Cases have been associated with myeloproliferative disorders, malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. We are reporting a case of a 39-year-old male presented with sudden onset hyperpigmented raised lesions studded with fluid-filled vesicles on the left dorsal hands. Histology confirmed the clinical diagnosis of neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands. Unilateral presentation of neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands is rarely encountered in day-to-day practice. Hence, we are reporting this case.
