Bortezomib-induced cutaneous lesions in multiple myeloma patients: a case report.
Proteasome inhibitors are emerging as a promising class of anti-cancer therapeutic agents. Bortezomib (PS341) is the first proteosome inhibitor with clinical significance. It acts by blocking vital functions of tumoral cells in myeloma, inducing apoptosis. Its toxicity is usually manageable. Gastrointestinal symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, neuropathic pain and thrombocytopenia are described as the most common side effects. We report on a case of cutaneous lesions induced by bortezomib in a patient with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM).
