The association of inflammatory bowel disease and acute febrile neutrophilic dermatitis (Sweet's syndrome) has infrequently been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 41-year-old Caucasian woman with ileo- anal Crohn's disease who presented simultaneously an ery- thema nodosum and a Sweet's syndrome. A dramatic regression of the cutaneous lesions was observed after infliximab treatment, indicating that this therapy might be useful for both Crohn's disease and Sweet's syndrome.
