Abstract

|
|
Sorafenib (Nexavar(R), BAY 43-9006) is a new oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed to delay disease progression in advanced solid organ malignancies and metastatic melanoma. Among the many reported toxicities attributed to sorafenib, dermatologic events, such as skin rash, acral erythema, alopecia and xerosis are the most frequently observed side effects. Recently, we experienced a case of a 41-year-old man who presented with generalized maculopapular erythematous eruptions, and acral erythema after sorafenib treatment for his metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Herein, we report the case and discuss the undesirable side effects of sorafenib.
