Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive malignancy. Survival can be increased with the combination of BRAF and MEK inhibition. BRAF inhibitor-induced cutaneous toxicities can be attenuated with MEK inhibition. Here, we describe the first reported case of a patient with metastatic melanoma who developed granulomatous dermatitis and erythema induratum when treated with combination BRAF (vemurafenib) and MEK inhibitor (cobimetinib) therapy and discuss the clinical features and management of dermatologic side-effects secondary to BRAF +/- MEK inhibition.
转移性黑色素瘤是一种侵袭性恶性肿瘤。联合使用BRAF和MEK抑制剂可提高生存率。BRAF抑制剂引起的皮肤毒性可通过MEK抑制得到减轻。在此,我们报告首例接受BRAF(维莫非尼)和MEK抑制剂(考比替尼)联合治疗的转移性黑色素瘤患者发生肉芽肿性皮炎和硬结性红斑的病例,并讨论BRAF ± MEK抑制继发的皮肤副作用的临床特征及处理。
