Description
Summary:Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) is an uncommon reaction typically triggered by the use of chemotherapeutic agents in the months after treatment with radiation therapy. It usually presents as dermatitis in the irradiated field with prominent intertriginous involvement, and because internal involvement occurs in up to one‐third of cases, early recognition is important. RRD has rarely been reported in the pediatric literature. We report the case of a 15‐month‐old boy with RRD to dactinomycin.
