Abstract:
Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody that binds to and inhibits the biologic activity of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This antibody, in combination with other antineoplastic agents, is currently used to treat various neoplasms, including colorectal, lung, breast, kidney cancer, and glioblastoma. It is also being used as an off-label intravitreal agent in the treatment of proliferative (neovascular) eye diseases. We report the development of a skin rash with two different patterns in a patient with a hemangiopericytoma of the meninges, a rare aggressive sarcoma, who was treated with repeated intravenous injections of bevacizumab.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
