Congratulations to Dr Chawla who has recently written a case report entitled ‘Annular atrophic lichen planus induced by anti-HER2 antibodies’. This has been published in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology.
Monoclonal inhibitors Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab inhibit human epidermal growth factors receptor 2 (HER-2). These are used to treat HER-2 positive breast cancer. Our case highlights a rare variant of a lichenoid drug eruption in a 35 year old female. Recognising rare potential side effects can ensure patients do not require treatment interruption.
