Popis: What is known and objective Trastuzumab‐emtansine is an antibody‐drug conjugate developed to decrease off‐target toxicity. According to the product label, reactions secondary to extravasation are mild or moderate. Case summary We report on a 51‐year‐old woman who developed epidermal necrosis after extravasation of trastuzumab‐emtansine, which required surgical intervention. Six weeks later, the lesions were healed with residual hyperpigmentation. What is new and conclusion We describe the course of a case of severe toxicity following trastuzumab‐emtansine extravasation. We provide treatment recommendations and recommend amending the information on the product label on extravasation.
