Abstract:
We describe a case of Sweet's syndrome in association with generalized granuloma annulare (GA) which presented 3 years after a diagnosis of breast carcinoma. Both Sweet's syndrome and generalized GA have been described independently in association with breast carcinoma but have never been described together. Both conditions appeared to respond to oral clofazimine.

Persistent cortisol elevation alters metabolism, immune function, and endocrine signaling, producing the characteristic clinical features of the...
