Résumé
BACKGROUND: Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis occurs mostly in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia, rarely in healthy patients. Histopathologic pattern is characteristic and includes selective necrosis of the eccrine glands with a local neutrophilic infiltrate. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 41 year-old woman with no medical past-history who developed during 2 years successive papulous skin eruptions. The latter always resolved spontaneously. Skin biopsy led to the diagnosis showing typical features of neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis. DISCUSSION: Our case is original because the neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis had occurred in a healthy woman. Neither malignant hematologic disease nor visceral cancer was disclosed in this patient in the following 31 months.
