Abstract

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is a drug whose use is increasingly common. It has been associated with a lower rate of haematologic and cardiac side effects than its nonencapsulated form. However, mucocutaneous toxicity is quite frequent and can be severe. Here we provide a case report of a patient who developed an intertrigolike eruption during treatment with PLD.
