Sweet syndrome associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Sweet syndrome was originally described in 1964 by the English dermatologist R. D. Sweet. Nakayama et al. first reported the simultaneous occurrence of this syndrome and Hashimoto thyroiditis in 1993. The role of cytokines in the development of both Hashimoto thyroiditis and Sweet syndrome may be the link between these two conditions.
