Phenofibrate, a cholesterol-lowering drug, can cause rare skin reactions. This study details a patient experiencing a lichenoid eruption linked to phenofibrate treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Phenofibrate is a fibric acid derivative used to lower lipid levels.
  • Known cutaneous side effects include pruritus, rash, urticaria, and photosensitivity.
  • Previous photosensitivity reactions were eczematous and sometimes confirmed by photopatch testing.

Observation:

  • A patient developed a lichenoid eruption on light-exposed areas.
  • The eruption occurred during therapy with phenofibrate for essential hypercholesterolemia.

Findings:

  • The patient's clinical presentation and histopathology were consistent with a lichenoid eruption.
  • The eruption was determined to be clearly related to phenofibrate therapy.

Implications:

  • This case expands the spectrum of known cutaneous adverse reactions to phenofibrate.

  • Highlights the importance of considering drug-induced photosensitivity in patients presenting with unusual skin reactions.
  • Suggests phenofibrate may induce lichenoid photosensitivity, a reaction not previously well-characterized.
