Histiocytoid Sweet Syndrome Presenting in Two Sisters with Deficiency of Deaminase Type 2.

ABSTRACT:Deficiency of adenosine deaminase type 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive monogenic autoinflammatory syndrome that is classically characterised by polyarteritis nodosa, systemic vasculitis and stroke. The spectrum of disease manifestations has broadened to encompass a range of cutaneous, vascular and haematological manifestations. We report a novel association in two sisters with heterozygous p.R169G/p.M309l mutations in ADA2 with low serum ADA2 activity who both presented similarly with clinical and histological features consistent with histiocytoid Sweet syndrome.
