[Renaissance of thalidomide].
Thalidomide comes back forty years after the discovery of its teratogenicity. Due to its antiangiogenic and immunomodulating properties, thalidomide is proposed in the treatment of multiple myeloma but also in the management of erythema nodosus leprosis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus and severe aphtosis.
