Eosinophilic, polymorphic and pruritic eruption associated with radiotherapy (EPPER) in two patients with breast tumour.

Eosinophilic polymorphic and pruritic eruption associated with radiotherapy (EPPER) is a rare entity that appears in oncological patients after radiotherapy. We describe two patients with breast tumour who presented with EPPER in a different area from the one that had been irradiated. One of them needed different types of treatment, topical and systemic corticosteroids, antihistamines and narrowband ultraviolet B. The other one responded to the application of topical corticosteroids. We suggested that this eruption could be more frequent than has been reported.
