title: Erythema nodosum and Hodgkin's disease.
abstract: A 27-year-old woman with a 5-month history of recurrent erythema nodosum was found to have Hodgkin's disease. A temporal relationship between the two disorders suggested a causative role of the lymphoma. A review of the literature yielded 15 cases of this association, suggesting that the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease should be considered in patients with unexplained erythema nodosum.
