Abstract

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody inhibitors are used to treat metastatic colorectal cancers. Cetuximab, an EGFR inhibitor drug, targets specific molecular pathways and does not cause the severe systemic side effects seen in cytotoxic chemotherapy. Herein, we presented a case who developed acneiform eruptions during cetuximab treatment.
