Abstract:
We report on a patient in whom prolonged therapy with etretinate was associated with the appearance of disseminated nodules, whose histopathologic study showed a sarcoid-like granuloma. Although the role of etretinate in the occurrence of this granulomatous reaction is not proven, we speculate on possible mechanisms of such a link.
