Different authors have used markedly different definitions of bingeing. Probably the most widely used of the current definitions is the DSM III R definition which states that a large amount of food must be consumed over a short period of time. Three case histories and a case vignette are used to illustrate the different clinical syndromes which may include bingeing, when bingeing is defined in this way. The authors argue that cognitive constructs are a more precise way of defining bingeing within the context of eating disorders.

Dermatologic toxicities, such as urticaria and mucositis, with docetaxel, have been commonly reported; however, fixed-plaque erythrodysesthesia is a rare adverse phenomenon with a reported incidence of less than 5% of patients. Docetaxel-induced psoriasis is extremely rare, and to date, very few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a literature review of psoriasis cases secondary to docetaxel and report our own case of severe docetaxel-induced psoriasis in the setting of treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. Our patient received topical steroids and narrow-band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) light therapy with resolution of their psoriasis and was able to complete their chemotherapy without discontinuation or interruption of their docetaxel.
