Disseminated Eczema Following Radiotherapy: A Case Report
11 Division of Clinical Dermatology and Cutaneous Science, Department of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
Background:
Radiotherapy-induced acute skin reactions are common and an expected effect of radiotherapy. Eczematous eruptions, however, are rarely reported, with disseminated eczema in particular being infrequently seen and likely underrecognized.
Objective:
We present a unique case of disseminated vesicular eczema following radiotherapy for ductal carcinoma in situ.
Conclusions:
The development of a localized vesicular eruption with subsequent dissemination can occur following radiotherapy. The mechanism of autosensitization is poorly understood but likely involves a cell-mediated immune response. Recognition is important to prevent excessive and inappropriate investigation and treatment.
