| Popis: | Pemetrexed is an anti-metabolite that targets multiple enzymes in folate pathway. The main toxicities associated with pemetrexed are asthenia, nausea, diarrhea, myelosuppression, and rash. Few cases of pemetrexed induced cutaneous adverse event have been reported, mainly periorbital-facial edema and edema of the limbs. We report a case of pemetrexed-induced edema of the eyelid and feet in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the lung. |
