Abstract
Drug induced pericarditis is a well described entity, most commonly described secondary to hydralazine, procainamide and isoniazid. Cardiac involvement after systemic retinoic acid therapy is exceedingly rare. Here we describe a case of myopericarditis secondary to isotretinoin intake, with prompt resolution after drug discontinuation.
