Sweet's syndrome and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: the first report of this association

A 58-year-old woman developed Sweet's syndrome one week after a flu-like illness. She was later found to have a centrocytic/centroblastic non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Six courses of chemotherapy were given during which the lesions of Sweet's syndrome resolved completely. As far as we are aware this is the first report of the association of Sweet's syndrome with a lymphoma.
