Abstract
A 62-year-old man with testis carcinoma was treated with bleomycin, cisplatin, and etoposide (BEP). During the second cycle of this chemotherapeutic regimen, he developed nonpruritic, linear erythematous lesions in a flagellate-like fashion on the trunk and extremities. After a short-term oral prednisone therapy and ceasing bleomycin administration, these lesions completely resolved. Herein, the characteristic cutaneous side effects of bleomycin are discussed.Entities:
