Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis), frequently, has a systemic involve­ ment and is associated with infectious or inflam­matory diseases or neoplasms. So, this patients can be found in medicine or rheumatology war­ds. Six cases of Sweet's syndrome are retrospec­ tively analised. The sex and age distribution and clinical features are similar to those of the lite­rature. Four patients had associated diseases. One of them had hepatic involvement, an extre­mely rare situation. The authors conclude that the colaboration of the internist in the study and follow-up ofthese patients is necessary, because of the systemic caracteristics of the disease.
