Morbilliform skin eruption owing to diethylstilbestrol.
We describe an unusual case of morbilliform skin eruption caused by diethylstilbestrol in a patient with stage D prostatic cancer. A widespread erythematous maculopapular rash and urticaria appeared with repeated challenges of diethylstilbestrol and resolved with drug withdrawal. In addition, the literature on various types of dermatitis medicamentosa in male patients with prostatic cancer treated with diethylstilbestrol is reviewed.
