Abstract
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has transformed the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Most of the adverse effects associated with this drug are minor barring differentiation syndromes. Genital ulcers feature among the underreported adverse effects of ATRA which needs to be kept in mind to avoid life-threatening complications. We describe two cases who developed genital ulcers while treated with ATRA.
