Topical tretinoin in gefitinib-induced acneiform eruptions

Abstract

Gefitinib is widely used chemotherapy drug for the treatment of malignant cancer. Dermatological manifestations with its intake have been reported in the seborrheic areas but occasionally described as widespread lesions. We are reporting a case who was on gefitinib having acneiform eruptions over the face which responded well to topical retinoids without any alteration in the regimen.
