- Abstract
The article describes a case study of severe folliculitis in the scalp with secondary impetiginization in a 76-year-old woman with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with panitumumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Topics discussed include the clinical history of the patient, results of physical, histopathology and microbiological studies done on the scalp, and patient management. Dermatologic side effects of EGFR inhibitors are noted.
