Thalidomide treats chronic graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplants. This study reports a new side effect: perioral neuropathy, or nerve issues around the mouth, linked to thalidomide therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) is a treatment for various cancers, including breast cancer.
  • Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a significant complication following aHSCT.
  • Thalidomide is an established immunomodulatory drug used in managing cGVHD.

Observation:

  • A patient with breast cancer undergoing aHSCT for cGVHD developed new neurological symptoms.
  • The patient was receiving thalidomide as part of their cGVHD management protocol.

Findings:

  • This case presents the first documented instance of perioral neuropathy (nerve damage around the mouth) directly associated with thalidomide treatment.
  • The neurological symptoms emerged during the course of thalidomide therapy for cGVHD.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the known spectrum of thalidomide's adverse effects.
  • Recognizing perioral neuropathy as a potential side effect is crucial for early diagnosis and management in patients receiving thalidomide.
  • Further research may be warranted to elucidate the mechanism of thalidomide-induced perioral neuropathy.
