Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a rare condition often misdiagnosed as a localized cutaneous infection. A type of neutrophilic dermatosis, NDDH is considered to be a subset of Sweet's syndrome and is similar to pyoderma gangrenosum. The authors report 2 cases of male patients who presented with persistent ulcerative skin lesions. ⋯ The clinical presentation, histological features, and excellent response to corticosteroid treatment are consistent with diagnosis of NDDH.

Improved recognition of neutrophilic dermatoses is important for optimal management of NDDH. .
