Abstract
We report a patient with Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dennatosis) revealing an acute myelogenous leukemia. About 10% of swee t's syndromes are associated with a malignant disease that they can re veal. Among those, hemopathies are the most frequent, and 42% are myel ogenous leukemia. These observations emphasize the particular clinical aspects of the Sweet's syndrome associated with an hemopathy.
