In most cases, toxic epidermal necrolysis is a drug-induced reaction. Other causes such as lymphomas have also been suspected. We report herein a new association of toxic epidermal necrolysis and Hodgkin's disease in a male patient. ⋯ Association of toxic epidermal necrolysis and lymphoproliferative disorders has been reported. Development of toxic epidermal necrolysis is normally related to administration of antineoplastic drugs. However, lymphomas may be diagnosed after the onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis in the absence of drug intake, pointing to a possible aetiological role of haematological disease in the development of toxic epidermal necrolysis.
