| Abstrakt: | The radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) phenomenon is defined as the "recalling" of the skin following the administration of drugs; this induces a response or flare-like reaction over the skin that is exposed to radiation. In this case report, a young female developed RRD on Day 18 after the completion of cranial radiotherapy, that is, four days after the restart of the chemotherapy with doxorubicin. It is a self-limiting condition with supportive care as the treatment. When encountered in hematological malignancies, undue treatment breaks can delay definitive treatment and can eventually cause a relapse.
