Clin Exp Dermatol. 2000 Jun;25(4):296-8. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2230.2000.00646.x.

Abstract

Sweet's syndrome is associated with haematological malignancy, particularly acute myelogenous leukaemia, but there are few reports of its association with polycythaemia rubra vera. We describe an 85-year-old man with polycythaemia rubra vera who developed Sweet's syndrome and review the literature of this association.
