Lichenoid Drug Eruption with Palmoplantar Hyperkeratosis due to Imatinib Mesylate: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature

Abstract: Cutaneous adverse effects of imatinib mesylate (Glivec) are common and various types of skin eruptions have been reported. We report here a 57-year-old man who presented with lichen planus-like lesions on his extremities and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis due to the use of imatinib mesylate for chronic myeloid leukaemia. The skin lesions improved after discontinuation of imatinib mesylate but re-administration of the drug at a lower dose provoked a mild recurrence. He could, however, continue to take the drug at … Show more

“…Lichenoid eruptions have been reported rarely but typically resemble LP of the skin and/or oral mucosa without the follicular involvement seen in our cases. Additionally, these eruptions from imatinib contain dense lichenoid infiltrates on histology, which is also not a feature of our cases [8]. …”

“…İnhibitör aktivitesi bcr-abl, stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT) ve platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)'ne karşıdır 4 . PDGFR ve c-KIT'in epidermal homeostazis üzerinde etkisi olduğu ve epidermal inflamasyonu başlattıkları yakın zamanda yapılan çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir 5 . İmatinibe bağlı gözlenen kutanöz yan etkiler imatinibin nonhematolojik yan etkileri arasında en sık görüleni olup %17-38 oranında gözlenir 6 .…”
