Enfortumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate used for treatment of urothelial cancer. It has recently been associated with several reports of Stevens Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). In this report, we describe the case of a 63-year-old man who developed widespread, near full-thickness desquamation, clinically mimicking TEN but with histologic features of toxic erythema of chemotherapy. This distinction is significant because it may have implications for prognosis and treatment. Further investigation is needed to ascertain the incidence of true TEN versus clinical imitators in patients with enfortumab vedotin-related cutaneous toxicity.
安维汀是一种用于治疗尿路上皮癌的抗体药物偶联物。最近有几篇报道将其与史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征/中毒性表皮坏死松解症(TEN)相关联。在本报告中,我们描述了一名63岁男性的病例,该患者出现广泛的、近乎全层的脱屑,临床症状类似TEN,但组织学特征为化疗所致的中毒性红斑。这种区分很重要,因为它可能对预后和治疗有影响。需要进一步研究以确定在安维汀相关皮肤毒性患者中真正的TEN与临床模仿者的发生率。
