S ir, Radiation therapy can cause various cutaneous adverse reactions, with radiation dermatitis being the most common. Erythema multiforme can also be induced by radiation therapy, 1–3 but few occurrences have been reported. 4, 5 We report a patient with erythema nodosum induced by intracavital radiation for vaginal squamous cell carcinoma.A 79‐year‐old woman was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina in January 1997, and received external telecobalt radiation to a total dose of 50.4 Gy over 38 days. Subsequently, she had intracavital 137 Cs radiation for 2 days in March 1997. The next morning, about 16 h after the second irradiation, several painful, well‐circumscribed, red‐brown, indurated areas of erythema, 6–12 cm in diameter, appeared on both knees, the right leg and the right forearm (Fig. 1 a).
