Abstract

A variety of cutaneous reactions have been reported with the use of systemic 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). A 48-year-old woman with an invasive ductal adenocarcinoma grade II of the breast who developed pellagra after treatment with 5-FU. In addition, fissures on the toe webs, palmoplantar erytrodysesthesia and nail pigmentation were also seen. Dramatic improvement in the pellagra and other signs were observed in second month, following the cessation of 5-FU and niacin treatment at the dose of 400 mg/day. The case is reported to emphasize the importance of nicotinic acid deficiency in patients with malignant disease treated with 5-FU and to note the coexistence of the different side effects of 5-FU.

Özet

Sistemik 5-fluorourasil (5-FU) kullanımına bağlı birçok kutanöz reaksiyon rapor edilmiştir. Bu bildiride; grade II invaziv duktal meme karsinomu tanısıyla modifiye radikal mastektomi sonrası uygulanan 5-FU kemoterapisinin altıncı haftasında pellagra gelişen 48 yaşında bir kadın hasta rapor edilmektedir. Hastada ayrıca akral eritem, her iki ayak tüm parmak aralarında fissür ve ayak tırnaklarında pigmentasyon saptandı. 5-FU tedavisi kesilen ve 400 mg/gün dozda niasin verilen hastada, tedavinin birinci ayından itibaren pellagra ve diğer bulgularda dramatik gerileme gözlendi. Olgu; malin tümörü olan ve 5-FU benzeri ilaç kullanan hastalarda nikotinik asid eksikliğinin öneminin yeterince vurgulanması ve 5-FU'e ait farklı yan etkilerin bir arada bulunması nedeniye sunulmaktadır.
