BACKGROUND: Docetaxel (Taxotere) is a microtubule-stabilizing agent that is potentially important in chemotherapy for a variety of malignancies.
METHODS: A clinical study of the cutaneous reactions experienced by a group of patients receiving docetaxel chemotherapy was undertaken. Patients were examined before initiation of therapy, before and after each cycle of therapy, and were followed subsequent to the completion of docetaxel chemotherapy.
RESULTS: Three patients developed diffuse lower extremity edema (3-18 kg) and subsequent scleroderma-like changes after receiving multiple cycles of docetaxel therapy. These patients had different underlying malignancies and dissimilar prior therapy. Rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, anticentromere, and topoisomerase antibodies were not present in any patient. The diffuse lower extremity edema did not resolve with diuretic therapy. Cutaneous biopsies in two patients revealed diffuse sclerosis. One patient had a normal lymphangiogram during the edematous phase. Discontinuation of docetaxel correlated with resolution of edema and softening of the skin.
CONCLUSION: The etiology of the scleroderma-like skin changes is unclear but appears to be either a toxic effect of docetaxel or an effect of polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), the vehicle for docetaxel.
