Lamotrigine is an anti-epileptic drug often prescribed to children and young females. Side effects include rash, dizziness and diplopia. Over the last twenty years, two cases of lymphadenopathy due to lamotrigine have been reported. We will present the case of a 17-year old female with persistent lymphadenopathy due to lamotrigine. The purpose of this case report is to inform clinicians that lymphadenopathy is a possible side effect of lamotrigine and to highlight the need for further research.
