Background: Targeted and immune therapies have recently been associated with the occurrence of multiple cutaneous toxicities, often challenging to differentiate by clinical examination alone without histology.

Our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of LC-OCT in predicting the clinical evolution of early maculopapular eruptions related to antineoplastic targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • - *The case report discusses a 4-year-old girl who developed a specific type of skin growths called eruptive melanocytic nevi (EMN) and changes to her nails after suffering from a severe skin condition known as toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).* - *A review of existing literature indicates that EMN is generally not associated with cancer, particularly in patients recovering from Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or TEN, including in children.* - *The report suggests that further research is needed to explore the relationship between nail changes and EMN development, as well as to enhance the understanding of EMN's characteristics through dermoscopy for better patient care.*
