Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) refers to an acute inflammatory skin reaction
appearing on a previously irradiated area following the systemic administration
of a reaction-triggering agent. Despite various hypotheses, the pathomechanism of
RRD appears complex and is still not fully understood. In addition, no clinical
guidelines exist concerning whether drug treatment should be continued upon
manifestation of an associated radiation recall phenomenon. We present the case
of a patient with docetaxel-induced RRD, which was successfully treated with
topical steroids and systemic antihistamines; re-challenge to docetaxel did
result in very mild remanifestation of skin reactions.
