RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Drug-induced subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (DI-SCLE) has been associated with drugs with different mechanisms of action, including anti-hypertensives, tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitors and even some chemotherapy medicines. In the last years, a few reports have been described in patients treated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib and abemaciclib. CASE REPORT: Here, we describe a case of DI-SCLE in association with ribociclib and exemestane in a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME: Topical mometasone was prescribed for two weeks with complete resolution of lesions, also abemaciclib was substituted for ribociclib, and the patient had stable disease with no relapse of DI-SCLE. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report of ribociclib-induced SCLE but based on the DI-SCLE reported cases associated others CDK4/6 inhibitors, the role of this family of drugs in dermatopathology must be further investigated.
