Abstract

Neutrophilic diseases may have various clinical presentations but share common histopathological manifestations with an aseptic infiltrate of polymorphonuclears neutrophils. The association with various diseases is frequent and must be systematically discussed. We report a patient who presented three different synchronous clinical manifestations of neutrophilic disease: pyoderma gangrenosum, subcorneal pustular dermatosis and aseptic spleen abscesses.
