摘　　要：Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKI)plays an important role in cancer therapy.However,EGFR is highly expressed in the skin and gives rise to one of the most concerning issues for the EGFR-TKI treatment,namely skin toxicity.Antibiotics and corticosteroids are usually used to treat the EGFR inhibitor-associated skin rash,with prominent side effects over long-time use.Pien Tze Huang(PZH)Unguentum Compositum is a traditional product for external application which is made of traditional Chinese medicine and oil base.Herein,we reported the case of a 50-year-old man who presented with skin rash on the face,head,and back induced by an EGFR-TKI named erlotinib.By using PZH Unguentum Compositum,we observed that the skin rash was mitigated and eventually disappeared.This case report suggests that PZH Unguentum Compositum may be an effective therapy in treating skin rash caused by EGFR-TKI with fewer side effects.
