Erythema nodosum and Hodgkin's disease

Clin Rheumatol. 1990 Sep;9(3):397-8. doi: 10.1007/BF02114402.

Abstract

Erythema nodosum is an unusual manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma. One patient with long remission of Hodgkin's disease manifested persistent erythema nodosum beginning one and three months before relapse was clinically evident. So, the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease should be considered in patients with unexplained recurrent erythema nodosum.
