Palbociclib-Induced Vitiligo-Like Lesions: A Report of a Challenging Case.

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitors, such as palbociclib, have emerged as essential in managing hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer. While effective, these inhibitors can cause rare dermatologic side effects, including vitiligo-like depigmentation. We report a rare case of a 52-year-old female with HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer who developed vitiligo-like depigmentation following palbociclib treatment.
