Cutaneous Toxicity from Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors: A Report of Two Cases

Epidermal growth factor inhibitors are currently an essential treatment for many advance-stage epithelial cancers as colorectal and lung cancer.

We report two cases of cutaneous toxicity in patients with solid tumors using different epidermal growth factor inhibitors.
