Abstract

To the Editor: Erlotinib (Tarceva; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) is an oral anticancer agent that blocks the function of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of non–small cell lung and pancreatic cancers. Therapy is frequently complicated by multiple cutaneous adverse effects ranging from follicular papulopustular (“acneiform”) eruptions, xerosis, nail changes (including paronychia and pyogenic granulomas in the lateral nail folds), and hair texture changes.
