Local Erythematous Dermatitis after Intravenous Docetaxel

We report the case of a patient who developed a local skin eruption over the vein following intravenous infusion of docetaxel at 4-week intervals. The skin lesions were limited to an area of the forearm proximal to the site of infusion. They appeared 1 week after the infusion and were diagnosed as erythema multiforme (mixed-type) based on the histological findings.
