  • Title: [Plantar-palmar erythrodysesthesia. A new and relatively frequent side effect in antineoplastic treatment].
    Author: Risum S, Langer SW.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2003 Aug 11; 165(33):3161-2. PubMed ID: 12968412.
    Abstract:
    Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE, hand-foot syndrome) is a relatively frequent cutaneous toxicity related to antineoplastic treatment with e.g. fluorouracil, capecitabine, and liposomal doxorubicin. It usually presents as paresthesia and painful erythema of the palms and soles and may lead to ulceration of the skin. The symptoms are dose-dependent, and the condition may be dose-limiting. Two cases of chemotherapy-associated PPE are presented.
