ABSTRACT
Inadvertent extravasation during intravenous antitumor therapy is not an unusual complication and can cause damage ranging from minor erythema to severe local necrosis. The appropriate management of these iatrogenic accidents as a part of supportive care in oncology has been addressed by several experimental studies, but there has been little clinical study and no conclusive evidence on the best therapeutic strategies to adopt. The case reported here of a patient suffering from severe soft-tissue injury caused by extravasation of epidoxorubicin demonstrates the usefulness of a combined management (medical, surgical and rehabilitative) in the appropriate care of extravasation.
