Cutaneous pigmentation after photosensitivity induced by vandetanib therapy.
BACKGROUND Photosensitivity has been reported in patients who were treated with vandetanib (ZD6474), an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and the RET (rearranged during transfection) kinases. OBSERVATIONS We describe the occurrence of cutaneous hyperpigmentation after photosensitivity in 2 patients who were treated with vandetanib. The...

Vandetanib (ZD6474, Zactima™) is a novel, orally available inhibitor of different intracellular signaling pathways involved in tumor growth, progression, and angiogenesis, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, epidermal growth factor receptor, and rearranged during transfection tyrosine kinase activity. The most frequently reported adverse events attributed to vandetanib incl...
متن کاملStevens-Johnson Syndrome Induced by Vandetanib
Vandetanib is a once-daily oral anticancer drug that selectively inhibits key signaling pathways in cancer by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, epidermal growth factor receptors tyrosine kinase, and rearranged during transfection-dependent tumor cell proliferation and survival. The most frequently reported adverse events attributed to vandetanib include diarrhea, elevated ...
متن کاملDrug-induced Photosensitivity.
Ultraviolet radiation is considered the main environmental physical hazard to the skin. It is responsible for photoaging, sunburns, carcinogenesis, and photodermatoses, including drug-induced photosensitivity. Drug-induced photosensitivity is an abnormal skin reaction either to sunlight or to artificial light. Drugs may be a cause of photoallergic, phototoxic, and photoaggravated dermatitis. Th...
متن کاملChronic cutaneous leishmaniasis induced after trauma, mimicking keloidal scar
Leishmaniasis is a common parasitic disease classified to acute and chronic types based on the duration of the disease. The acute lesion is presented as ulcerated papule and nodule that heal after a few months with an atrophic scar. The chronic form of cutaneous leishmaniasis is a nonhealing lesion that is persistent for more than one year. Here, we describe a chronic case of leishmaniasis deve...
