Article Abstract
Background: Sweet's syndrome, also known as febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, can occur in patients with an underlying malignancy and can present with extracutaneous manifestations, including neurologic symptoms.
Methods: This report describes a 62-year-old man with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus who developed Sweet's syndrome and whose postoperative course was complicated by encephalitis.
Results: A diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome with neurologic manifestations was made, and the patient was treated with oral corticosteroids. His symptoms improved markedly within 12 h.
Conclusion: Neurologic symptoms in Sweet's syndrome are infrequently reported and have not been described previously in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has emerged as an effective therapy for Meige syndrome (MS). However, the optimal stimulation site within STN and the most effective stimulation fiber tracts have not been investigated.
Methods: Based on the discovery cohort (n = 65), we first identified the optimal stimulation site within the STN using the sweet spot mapping method.

Background: Pulmonary infections, ranging from mild respiratory issues to severe multiorgan failure, pose a major global health threat. The immune response in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and COVID-19 influences disease severity and outcomes, but molecular pathogenesis differs across pathogens. Comparisons of plasma cytokine profiles between CAP and COVID-19 are limited.

Sweet syndrome (SS) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis often associated with hematologic malignancies, particularly myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs). We report a case of SS-like dermatosis in a patient with MDS who subsequently developed peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We review the literature on Sweet syndrome to contextualize this atypical presentation We present a case report of a 77-year-old male with leukopenia and known MDS, admitted for a persistent, infiltrated erythematous eruption.

Aseptic abscess syndrome is a clinical entity that is being increasingly documented. Unfortunately, apart from the French registry, there are no other studies presenting collective data. In this review, we sought to analyze clinical and laboratory data from case reports published from the rest of the world.
