Popis: | A 54-year old male with newly diagnosed poor-risk metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was started on first line palliative cabozantinib, 60mg once daily. Five weeks after commencing treatment, he developed "red spots" on his lower legs. On examination, he had multiple purpuric papules, predominantly distributed over his lower legs, with scattered lesions over his thighs and lower abdomen. Some of these papules subsequently developed superficial ulceration with purulent exudate. The clinical appearances were consistent with a cutaneous vasculitis with superficial bacterial infection (Figure 1). Cabozantinib was discontinued, however the rash continued to progress over the next 3 weeks. |
