Rare cutaneous ulcers related to methotrexate use in persistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia – case report

Year 2016, Volume: 47 Issue: 4, 121 - 124, 20.03.2016

Abstract

Introduction: Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic agent which inhibits the folate metabolism is a frequently used in different disease spectrum;  malignancies ( hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, gestational neoplastic diseases…) or non-malignant such as chronic inflammatory diseases or dermatologic diseases. While it’s using, different toxic side effects can be seen which are  dose-dependent or not. Different types of medications are used to prevent toxic side effects. Despite all preventive approaches, personal and genetic differences effect treatment results.

Case: We applied methotrexate rescue protocol for persistant molar pregnancy to 43 years old woman.During the treatment, cutaneus and oral ulcers were seen.With this case report, we want to give information about  how to manage these toxic effects during the methotrexate treatment.  

Conclusion:Cutaneus and oral ulcers are seen as a result of methotrexate treatment  during persistant molar pregnancy.The basic steps in management of these patients; to stop methotrexate medication, to prevent seconder infections of cutaneus and oral ulcers and folinic acid supplement.

Persistan gestasyonel trofoblastik neoplazide metotreksat kullanımına bağlı nadir görülen kutanöz ülserler - olgu sunumu

Year 2016, Volume: 47 Issue: 4, 121 - 124, 20.03.2016

Abstract

Giriş: Metotreksat ; değişen rejim ve dozlarda çeşitli endikasyonlarda günümüzde yaygın kullanım alanı bulan, folik asit metabolizmasını antagonize eden kemoterapotik ajandır.Kullanım alanları, başta romatolojik hastalıklar olmak üzere, hematolojik maligniteler, gestasyonel trofoblastik neoplaziler ve bazı solid tümörleri içerir.Kullanım sırasında doz bağımlı ya da dozdan bağımsız olarak çeşitli toksik etkileri görülebilmektedir.Toksisiteyi önlemek için çeşitli medikasyonlar kullanılmaktadır.Ancak tüm koruyucu yaklaşımlara rağmen kişisel ve genetik farklılıklar tedavi sonuçlarını etkilemektedir.

Olgu: 43 yaşında, persiste molar gebelik nedeniyle metotreksat  rescue protokol uygulanan hasta sunulmuştur. Tedavi sırasında kutanöz ve oral ülserler görülmüştür. Bu olgu sunumunda metotreksat tedavisi sırasında görülen toksik etkilerin yönetimi hakkında bilgi vermeyi amaçladık.

Sonuç: Kutanöz ve oral ülserler, persiste molar gebelik nedeniyle uygunan metotreksat tedavisi sırasında görülebilmektedir. Bu hastaların yönetiminde  temel basamaklar; metotreksat tedavisinin kesilmesi, oluşan lezyonların sekonder enfeksiyonunun önlenmesi ve folinik asit desteğini kapsar.
