Abstract Recurrent neutrophilic dermatosis of the face is a disease that is morphologically and histopathologically compatible with Sweet's syndrome, but is distributed on the face without fever, laboratory abnormalities or associated disorders. At present, it is unclear whether our cases belong to the chronic and mild variant of Sweet's syndrome or are independent entities. Here, we present two cases of recurrent neutrophilic dermatosis of the face with good response to systemic corticosteroids or potassium iodine, as well as those of cases reported in the published work.
