Overview

Palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) is a swelling and numbness of the hands and feet that occurs with chemotherapy, usually with fluorouracil, capecitabine, cytarabine, and doxorubicin. Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia or Hand-Foot syndrome is a skin-related reaction involving the palms an soles. It commonly occurs due to a reaction to different kinds of chemotherapeutic agent used to treat cancer. The first s. PPE may be classified into grade1, grade 2, grade 3, or grade 4 depending on toxicity rating. The pathophysiologic mechanism of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia is under active investigation and different mechanisms have been postulated. Histologic biopsy is consistent with toxic reaction[1]. After extensive studies, it has been determined that Pegylated Liposomal doxorubicin deposits into the eccrine glands which is concentrated in the palms and soles which then causes a drug reaction and development of PPE.[2] Several Different types of Chemotherapeutic agents have been associated with the development of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia. PPE must be differentiated from Acute Graft Versus Host Response, Tinea manuum and Hand-Foot reaction due to tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
