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