The most common and important side-effect of warfarin treatment is bleeding. Erythema nodosum, in the form of painful, erythematous nodules in the dermal and subcutaneous tissues, is not a known side-effect of warfarin. In this case, we report on erythema nodosum occurring as a side-effect of warfarin treatment. A 49-year-old female patient was treated for pulmonary thromboembolism after multiple lesions emerged identified as erythema nodosum in a dermatology consultation that were interpreted as a possible side-effect of warfarin treatment. It was concluded that erythema nodosum may present as a side-effect of warfarin.
