Abstract |
Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) is an infrequent, self-limited inflammatory dermatosis characterized by a neutrophilic infiltrate around the eccrine glands. Clinically, it presents with different types of lesions. NEH occurs most frequently in patients who have undergone chemotherapy for hematologic neoplasms. We present a case of NEH in a 70-year-old neutropenic male who received thioguanine for acute myeloid leukemia. The erythematous plaques disappeared in 3-4 weeks. The histological findings were compatible with NEH. Skin cultures ruled out infectious causes.
