    Abstract

    Methotrexate (MTX) is used in the treatment of malignant and non-malignant diseases. This case report describes impotence as a seldom but possible overlooked adverse effect to MTX treatment. A 58 year-old man was treated for erythrodermia with a weekly dose of 7.5 mg MTX. He developed erective impotence nine months after initiation of treatment. Two weeks after discontinuation of MTX the impotence subsided, but when MTX treatment was reintroduced, the impotence returned after two months. Only a few other cases of impotence associated with MTX have been described previously
