Abstract
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) is considered the recommended induction treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Although the dermatological side effects associated with ATRA treatment are relatively common, acute neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome) has only been rarely reported. We describe such a case who responded to chemotherapy and not to low doses of corticostcroids.
