Vandetanib induced photoallergic dermatitis: A case report

Abstract

Vandetanib is a multi-kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor. Most common dermatological side effects induced by vandetanib include papulopustular eruption, hand-foot syndrome, and hyperpigmentation.

In this report, we present a case with metastatic medullar thyroid carcinoma who developed vandetanib-induced photoallergic dermatitis.
