Abstract

Neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD) was first described in 2009 by one of us [1] as an eruption consisting of rose or red macules or slightly elevated plaques vanishing within 24 h. The histopathologic findings are a dense perivascular and interstitial infiltrate of neutrophils with leucocytoclasia but without vasculitis.
