Neutrophilic dermatoses with acute myeloid leukemia associated with an increase of serum colony-stimulating factor

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2008 Aug;59(2 Suppl 1):S10-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2007.08.026.

Abstract

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with folliculitis, Sweet's syndrome, and neutrophilic panniculitis after remission induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia. The level of endogenous granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was closely associated with disease activity.
