“…In the present paper, a single‐centre experience in a real‐life setting has been provided. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided the largest series available 14,20 . As observed by Singer et al and Yorulmaz et 20,24 most of the Ibrutinib SAEs involved the nails and hair (Figure 1 a‐c, Figure 3 b‐d), reinforcing the hypothesis that Ibrutinib may have off‐target activity against EGFR in the skin 20,24,25 .…”

“…We can hypothesize whether those lesions should be considered as an initial stage of cutaneous vasculitis, which may have auto‐limited without any treatment changes. In our series, we neither observe a photosensitive reaction, recently reported by other authors 20 nor an acneiform/pustular rash. A possible explanation for the former AE may be the recommended application of photoprotector after Ibrutinib start as well as strict sun avoidance.…”

“…As Ibrutinib is becoming commonly used in the hematological setting clinicians ought to be familiar with its therapeutic and side‐effects. Apart from the experience of two American groups, 14‐20 descriptions on Ibrutinib AE are limited to a few case reports 15‐19,22‐24 . In the present paper, a single‐centre experience in a real‐life setting has been provided.…”

“…Despite such relatively promising scenarios little is known about the adverse events of the drug, and in particular on the skin sideeffects (SAE). Apart from two single-centre experiences, only single case-reports are present in the literature [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . The aim of our paper is to expand our knowledge on Ibrutinib SAE by providing a singleinstitution experience.…”

Ibrutinib is a Burton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) approved for the treatment of several hematologic malignancies. Analyze skin adverse events (SAE). All the patients treated with Ibrutinib featuring cutaneous adverse events were selected. Twenty five patients were retrieved with a median interval between Ibrutinib start and SAE time of onset of 120 days. Most common SAE observed involved hairs and nails. Eczematous reaction and leucocytoclastic vasculitis were also detected. One patient had a long-history Ibrutinib treatment and experienced numerous cutaneous adverse events. Infective disease such as superficial mycosis and impetigo were rarely present in our series. Despite the development of cutaneous SAE, all the patients continued their concomitant drugs without the onset of any further SAE. Our data suggest Ibrutinib-associated rash should be distinguished in early and late events and a careful dermatologic management of patients should be scheduled.

A man in his 60s presented to the clinic with a several-day history of nontender, nonitchy purpuric rash on his scalp. The patient denied using any over-the-counter or prescription topicals at the affected sites before the onset of the eruption except for petroleum jelly. His medical history was significant for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and allergic contact dermatitis. The patient reported being started on ibrutinib and allopurinol therapy 6 weeks prior to the rash onset for treatment of CLL. Physical examination revealed multiple purpuric, nonblanchable macules and patches on the frontal, vertex, temporal, and parietal scalp (Figure , A). A punch biopsy specimen from the scalp was obtained for histopathologic analysis (Figure , B).
