A 43-year-old man had presented in October 2016 with fever, weight loss and enlarged right cervical lymph nodes for 5 months. He was diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (stage-IIIB) and was started on Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine chemotherapy. In February 2017, 10 days after completion of fourth cycle of ABVD chemotherapy, he was noted to have asymptomatic, linear (flagellate), hyperpigmented skin lesions resembling “whip lashes” over the trunk (Fig. 1), upper and lower limbs. Bleomycin was omitted from subsequent two cycles of chemotherapy.
