Imatinib mesylate is a small tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets BCR-ABL, ckit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. It is prescribed by hematologists for chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia and by oncologists for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST).
Ponatinib is a bcr-abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) used to treat resistant and refractory chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia that express bcr-abl. Neutrophilic panniculitis has been described in rare cases of patients on other TKIs in the
BACKGROUND
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are now established as valuable therapy in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). They induce several types of cutaneous side effect, the most common being non-specific maculopapular rash and periocular oedema. Rare cases of panniculitis have been described in
A substantial number of all panniculitides fails to recognize a specific etiology, and that is true also for a relatively frequent type of panniculitis, such as erythema nodosum (EN). Between the recognized causative factors of panniculitides, infectious, physical agents, autoimmune mechanisms and
Neutrophilic panniculitis is a relatively rare condition, characterized by predominantly neutrophilic inflammation in the subcutaneous fat. Rarely, neutrophilic panniculitis may be induced by chemotherapeutics or targeted molecular therapies, including the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib.
The development of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other B cell malignancies. The first-generation inhibitor ibrutinib works by covalent irreversible binding to BTK, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase of the
A 73-year-old man presented with severe right upper quadrant abdominal pain, overlying erythema, hypotension and fever. CT scan revealed fasciitis and myositis of the right rectus abdominis muscle with subcutaneous inflammation involving the fasciae and muscle. Laboratory studies showed extreme
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the most common liver disorders. This is highly prevalent in obese and diabetic subjects. Persons with central obesity are at particular risk. Other clinical predictors are age more than 40-50 years and hyperlipidemias, but none of these factors is
Recently, a number of medications approved for nondermatologic use have proved useful against dermatologic diseases. This article reviews the dermatologic uses and effects of deferasirox, bortezomib, dasatinib, and cyclosporine eye drops. Deferasirox--an oral iron chelator--could be an effective
Ibrutinib is an oral inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) that is FDA-approved for several lymphoproliferative disorders and chronic GVHD.To characterize cutaneous eruptions arising from ibrutinib and highlight overlap with epidermal growth factor Combination therapy with ibrutinib and cetuximab is being studied in a phase 1b/2 trial in patients with advanced gastrointestinal and genitourinary malignancies. Rash is a common cutaneous adverse effect for both medications. Ibrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor approved for the
