Paronychia and Periungual Granulation as a Novel Side Effect of Ibrutinib: A Case Report
1Department of Dermatology, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Ibrutinib is an oral covalent inhibitor of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase pathway and is approved for the treatment of B-cell malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, mantle cell lymphoma, and Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. It is generally a drug of choice for high-risk patients with indolent lymphomas. The safety profile of ibrutinib appears to be tolerable, with well-known side effects such as infections and haematologic complications. Additionally, dermatological adverse reactions with ibrutinib therapy have been reported to encompass maculopapular rash and hair/nail abnormalities. Here, we present a case of ibrutinib-induced paronychia and periungual granulation in a 40-year-old woman. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third description of ibrutinib-induced paronychia and periungual granulation.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
