title: Sweet's syndrome and polycythaemia rubra vera.
abstract: Sweet's syndrome is associated with haematological malignancy, particularly acute myelogenous leukaemia, but there are few reports of its association with polycythaemia rubra vera. We describe an 85-year-old man with polycythaemia rubra vera who developed Sweet's syndrome and review the literature of this association.
