Abstract

A patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia is presented. During treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid, erythema nodosum developed. Treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid was continued, the erythema nodosum resolved with steroid treatment, and a complete remission was attained. This case is the first report of erythema nodosum associated with all-trans-retinoic acid.
