Abstract
Sunitinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is indicated for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. The authors report the case of a patient who underwent treatment for renal cell carcinoma and noted additional benefit by improvement in his psoriatic skin lesions. This may be attributed to the antiangiogenic activity of sunitinib by inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors.Entities:
