Symmetrical Drug-Related Intertriginous and Flexural Exanthem due to Oral Risperidone

PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY, Issue 2 2009
BENGU NISA AKAY M.D.
The clinical findings were compatible with so-called symmetrical drug related intertriginous and flexural exanthema, also known as Baboon syndrome. Although epicutaneous patch testing with the offending drug was negative, drug rechallenge produced a recurrence of the skin findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of symmetrical drug related intertriginous and flexural exanthema reported due to risperidone. [source]

Intertriginous lymphomatoid drug eruption

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, Issue 10 2010
Ronni Wolf MD
A 76-year-old man developed a maculopapular purpuric eruption confined to the intertriginous areas (i.e. the inguinal, gluteal, and axillary folds). Two days before the eruption appeared, he had received a second course of chemotherapy consisting of cisplatinum 40 mg and gemcitabine (Gemzar) 1700 mg for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung stage III B. The histologic picture was of either lymphomatoid drug eruption or lymphomatoid papulosis. The antineoplastic therapy was changed to once-weekly intravenous vinorelbine (Navelbine) 50 mg, a Vinca alkaloid, and the eruption resolved completely within two weeks without any further therapy. These circumstantial evidences support the diagnosis of intertriginous drug eruption. Our case is interesting and unusual in that it demonstrated a rare clinical presentation of drug eruption, namely, intertriginous drug eruption or baboon syndrome, with a histologic picture of a lymphomatoid drug eruption that can mimic lymphoma. We are unaware of any earlier reported case of baboon syndrome with a histologic picture of lymphomatoid drug eruption. The pathomechanisms of both types of drug eruption, i.e. baboon syndrome and lymphomatoid drug eruption, are not fully understood. [source]
