SIR, Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia, a relatively rare but benign entity, has been reported in cancer patients receiving various chemotherapeutic regimens. It is usually described as erythematous plaques, papules or vesicles, which may be limited to the extremities or may be generalized. Docetaxel (Taxotere; Rhone-Poulenc Rorer) is a synthetic taxoid prepared from a non-toxic natural precursor, 10-deacetyl baccatin III, obtained from the leaves of the ornamental yew Taxus baccata L. This drug has been investigated in various types of cancer such as breast, lung or gastric cancer, and cutaneous side-effects have been previously described with this drug. We report the first case of squamous syringometaplasia in a patient treated with docetaxel (Taxotere) for a metastatic oesophageal neoplasm. In October 1999, a 53-year-old man with a history of alcohol and tobacco abuse was diagnosed as having a squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus with liver metastasis. He received first-line chemotherapy with cisplatin ⁄ fluorouracil. Further to progressive disease, he received docetaxel (Taxotere) as palliative second-line chemotherapy every 21 days, in association with 4 days of corticosteroids. Ten days after starting the fourth course of this regimen, he presented with acral oedematous erythema with sensitive erythematous infiltrated macules symmetrically distributed on the lower third of the legs and on both hands (Fig. 1a). Histopathology of a deep biopsy including the hypodermis showed keratinocyte necrosis associated with squamous syringometaplasia of the sweat ducts. The squamous syringometaplasia was associated with necrosis in the coiled secretory glands (Fig. 1b). The dermis was infiltrated by inflammation-associated lymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils, without any vasculitis. With symptomatic treatment, i.e. cold compresses and paracetamol, the eruption resolved progressively and disappeared within 7 days with intense desquamation, but without scarring. Squamous syringometaplasia is histologically defined as the transformation of the normal epithelial eccrine duct (i.e. double layer of cuboidal cells and the luminal eosinophilic cuticle) into two or more layers of squamous epithelial cells with intercellular bridges similar to the stratum spinosum. It has been reported in association with ingestion of benoxaprofen, exposure to tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin, chronic cutaneous ulcers and scars, squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthoma, lobular panniculitis and pyoderma gangrenosum. Patients undergoing chemotherapy develop acral epidermal erythema, a macular rash or papulovesicles of squamous syringometaplasia. Squamous syringometaplasia has been described in association with the chemotherapeutic agents cytarabine, mitoxantrone, fluorouracil, cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, methotrexate, bisulfan, melphalan, carmustine and thiotepa. Trials of docetaxel have been conducted in patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma and in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients with Kaposi’s sarcoma. According to Bedikian et al. when docetaxel was used as first-line chemotherapy, 12Æ5% of the patients responded and 75% showed skin toxicities. Brownish discoloration of nails and a maculopapular rash with desquamation were the most common manifestations. In 1995, Zimmerman et al. reported cutaneous reactions that had occurred over the first three courses of therapy in 12 patients enrolled for phase I chemotherapy. The most common cutaneous reaction seen in these patients was characterized by discrete erythematous to violaceous patches or oedematous plaques. Figure 1.
