Abstract
We report three cases of a distinctive palmar-plantar erythema associated with the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute myeloid leukaemia. The rash is characterized by a painful, sharply demarcated, intense erythema of the palms and/or soles followed by bulla formation, desquamation and healing. The eruption is self limiting in nature and did not adversely affect prognosis. Treatment need be neither altered nor stopped; only symptomatic measures are required.
