Overview

The exact pathogenesis of palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) is not completely understood. It is thought that PPE is caused by direct toxic effect of the chemotherapeutic drugs against keratinocytes, excretion of the drugs in eccrine sweat glands, or type I allergic reaction. The pathological features of PPE are non-specific. However, since PPE involves a cytotoxic reaction primarily affecting keratinocytes, the histopathologic findings are similar to histologic manifestation of direct toxic reactions.
