Abstract

Interferon (IFN)-alpha 2b is used for adjuvant therapy in malignant melanoma. Neurotoxicity as a side effect has been well described. Resting and action tremor related to interferon have been reported but are relatively uncommon. We report a case of a delayed-onset interferon-related action tremor in a patient with malignant melanoma.
