Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are malignant hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplastic and ineffective blood cell production leading to blood cytopenias, and a risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Skin lesions in patients with MDS include Sweet syndrome (SS), leucocytoclastic vasculitis, leukemia cutis and histiocytoid SS (H-SS), among others,.1,2 H-SS is a histological variant of SS differing from classical neutrophilic SS by a dermal infiltrate mostly made of immature cells of the myeloid lineage, that has been associated with myeloid malignancies.
