A Case of Radiation Recall Dermatitis of Scalp in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia After Prophylactic Cranial Radiotherapy

The radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) phenomenon is defined as the “recalling” of the skin following the administration of drugs; this induces a response or flare-like reaction over the skin that is exposed to radiation. In this case report, a young female developed RRD on Day 18 after the completio...

description The radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) phenomenon is defined as the “recalling” of the skin following the administration of drugs; this induces a response or flare-like reaction over the skin that is exposed to radiation. In this case report, a young female developed RRD on Day 18 after the completion of cranial radiotherapy, that is, four days after the restart of the chemotherapy with doxorubicin. It is a self-limiting condition with supportive care as the treatment. When encountered in hematological malignancies, undue treatment breaks can delay definitive treatment and can eventually cause a relapse.
