- Abstract
We report a case of localized epidermal necrolysis that developed 24 hours after an intravenous injection of vinblastine. Clinically, the lesions consisted of erythematous macules, vesicles, and bullac with a linear arrangement over the injected vein. Histologically, the lesions showed features closely resembling erythema multiforme (epidermal necrolysis). We discuss the pathogenesis of this curious cutaneous drug reaction and review the literature concerning local cutaneous complications associated with intravenously administered chemotherapeutic agents.
