Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor-Induced Symmetrical Drug-Related Intertriginous and Flexural Exanthema: Should You Discontinue the Offending Agent?
Cutis; Cutaneous Medicine for the Practitioner 2023 January
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors cause numerous cutaneous adverse events (AEs), including papulopustular eruptions, paronychia, acral fissures, xerosis, alopecia, and trichomegaly. Symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) is a cutaneous reaction that has been uncommonly reported in association with EGFR inhibitors, though the optimal management strategy for this condition is unknown. We present 2 cases of SDRIFE secondary to EGFR inhibitor therapy in which the EGFR inhibitor was successfully continued while topical therapy was administered for effective control of symptoms. We also review the literature on EGFR inhibitor-related SDRIFE to assess the range of approaches to treating this condition. Our analysis suggests that the dermatologist is critical in diagnosing and treating this cutaneous AE, which may be supported with skin-directed therapy and may not require discontinuation of cancer treatment.
