Abstract
Two women (aged 46 and 56 years) developed annular erythema on their sun-exposed skin, including their forearms and faces, after biweekly i.v. administration of paclitaxel for 3-4 months to treat breast cancer. Both cases showed interface changes of basal keratinocytes and high titers of serum anti-SSA/Ro antibody. The diagnoses of paclitaxel-induced cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) were made because the skin eruptions cleared rapidly within 3 weeks after the paclitaxel treatment was discontinued. Paclitaxel is proposed to be a causative agent that can provoke cutaneous LE.Entities:
