Abstract

Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for approximately 40% of all lymphomas presenting in childhood and can be associated with a variety of dermatologic manifestations. Here, we describe a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of this association, especially if no alterative trigger for Stevens-Johnson syndrome can be identified.

Keywords: Hodgkin's lymphoma; Stevens-Johnson; children.
