An adolescent with abdominal pain taking isotretinoin for severe acne.
A 19-year-old female patient is presented who was taking isotretinoin for severe, nodulocystic acne. She subsequently developed abdominal pain during the course of treatment, thought to be related to an adverse reaction to the medication. A concerning side effect of isotretinoin is hypertriglyceridemia, which may be a cause of pancreatitis. A lipase level was determined to be elevated in this case. The patient was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and the offending agent was discontinued. Clinicians need to be aware of the side effects when prescribing isotretinoin for recalcitrant acne.

Marked hyperlipidemia and pancreatitis associated with isotretinoin therapy.
Isotretinoin, a retinoid derivative, is in wide use as a treatment for severe acne and other dermatologic conditions. Its effects on serum lipids, most notably the induction of hypertriglyceridemia, have been well documented. We present a case of a young woman with a previous history of gestational hyperlipidemia who developed hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis after initiation of isotretinoin therapy. A history of gestational hyperlipidemia may serve as a marker to help identify patients who are at increased risk for developing severe hypertriglyceridemia while receiving isotretinoin. Her case emphasizes the need to consider the possibility of pancreatitis in patients who develop abdominal pain while receiving this drug.

Development of folliculitis and pyoderma gangrenosum in association with abdominal pain in a patient following treatment with isotretinoin.
A 19-year-old man with severe acne developed extensive scalp folliculitis and later superficial pyoderma gangrenosum following treatment with isotretinoin. A cyclical neutropenia was noted and bone marrow findings suggested myelodysplasia. We believe that isotretinoin was implicated in the development of overt symptoms in this patient whose haematological condition was previously asymptomatic.
