ABSTRACT

Erythema nodosum (EN) represents the commonest form of nodular panniculitis and is the prototype of septal panniculitis. This disorder represents a hypersensitivity reaction in front of different antigens, such as several systemic diseases and drug therapies. In the majority of cases, the cause remains unknown. New drugs are being added to the list of drugs implicated in the etiopathogenesis of EN. We report two cases of EN in relation to the use of the vaginal ring.
