Generalized Sweet syndrome lesions are usually noted,in association with malignancies. Sweet syndrome lesions are rarely seen in patients with Behcet disease and, if present, are usually fewer in number. In this report, we present two female patients who developed generalized Sweet syndrome lesions during follow-up after the diagnosis of Behcet disease. The clinical and histopathologic findings in our patients together with the data in the literature suggest that generalized Sweet syndrome lesions in a patient with clinically inactive Behcet disease should remind the clinician that a strict differential diagnosis needs to be made between Sweet syndrome associated with Behcet disease and the rare cutaneous manifestation of Behcet disease that resembles the lesions of Sweet syndrome.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNeutrophilic-dermatosisDermatologyAdultBehcet syndromeDiagnosis, differentialFemaleFollow-up studiesHumansSweet syndromeArticle0002693311000072-s2.0-6894909830433133510519658446DermatologySweet Syndrome; Panniculitis; Pyoderma GangrenosumClobetasolColchicinePrednisoloneAcute febrile neutrophilic dermatosisAdultArthralgiaArticleBehcet diseaseBlood chemistryCase reportCataractComorbidityDisease associationDrug dose reductionDrug withdrawalErythrocyte sedimentation rateEye examinationFemaleGenital ulcerHematocritHistopathologyHumanHyperkeratosisHyperpigmentationLaboratory testLeukocyte countPeriorbital edemaPhysical examinationPriority journalProtein electrophoresisSkin biopsySkin examinationThrombocyte count
