Acne fulminans is a rare form of acne characterized by ulcerative nodules and associated with systemic complications. We report the case of a 17-year-old boy with cystic acne who experienced sudden onset of acne fulminans associated with fever, weight loss, hepatosplenomegaly, and erythema nodosum migrans. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of acne fulminans manifested by hepatomegaly and erythema nodosum migrans.

We describe a 21-year old man who was diagnosed as having adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) in association with isotretinoin treatment for acne conglobata. The patient was febrile, with a macular salmon pink rash, arthritis, hepatosplenomegaly, and axial lymphadenopathy. Laboratory results showed leukocytosis, mild liver dysfunction and negative rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies. Isotretinoin, an orally active derivative of vitamin A, has been associated with various rheumatologic conditions such as arthralgia, myalgia, vasculitis and arthritis. The etiology of rheumatic disorders associated with retinoids is still obscure; however, it is presumed that immunomodulation by several mechanisms (such as an alteration of the cytokine balance) is probably ascribable to this interesting association.
