Flagellate dermatitis after bleomycin. A histological and immunohistochemical study.
A case of flagellate dermatitis after administration of bleomycin is reported in a patient with Hodgkin's disease. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a drug-induced skin toxic reaction rather than a lymphomatous infiltrate. Pigmentary changes observed after the early erythematous eruption were due to a postinflammatory effect.
