ABSTRACT
We report a case of an 82-year-old man who developed exfoliative dermatitis (ED) after receiving radiation therapy for Kaposi's sarcoma of the right foot. One month after irradiation, pruritic erythema appeared within the radiation field and then, evolved into ED. An evaluation to identify the underlying cause discovered no factors likely to cause ED. The skin lesions gradually resolved over a period of one month with the use of narrow band ultraviolet B therapy, oral antihistamines, and low potency topical glucocorticoids. No recurrence has been observed during one year of follow-up. We concluded that this was a rare case of generalized ED occurring after radiation therapy.
