Abstract

We report the very unusual perforation of the mitral valve in the setting of Sweet's syndrome, or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, in a boy aged 5 years. Surgical repair was uneventful, and follow-up showed no residual anomalies. Acute or delayed valvitis, with damage to either the mitral or aortic valves, should be screened for in this rare disease.
