Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a skin condition that presents with edematous pustular or ulcerative nodules or plaques localized to the dorsal hands.[1]: 146 [2]
Signs and symptoms
Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands is characterized by bullae, pustules, and delicate erythematous plaques on the hands' dorsa.[3]
Causes
Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands is often associated with other conditions. Hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome and plasma cell dyscrasias are common.[3]
Diagnosis
The histopathology of NDDH lesions shows a dense neutrophil infiltrate in the dermis, which is typically linked to leukocytoclastic debris and subepidermal edema.[4]
Treatment
Systemic corticosteroids are the main method of treatment.[3]
