Abstract
RADIOTHERAPY has frequently provoked local acute and chronic radiodermatitis.1-3 Generalized cutaneous eruptions during radiotherapy were reported as early as 19034; since then, various skin eruptions, frequently diagnosed as erythema multiforme5-10(in most cases, without histological confirmation), generalized papuloerythematous rashes,11 widespread and nonspecific skin eruptions,12,13 Stevens-Johnson syndrome,14and bullous pemphigoid after radiation therapy,15have been described.Keywords
