Synonyms and keywords:Palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia, Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia; Palmoplantar Erythrodysesthesia; Hand-Foot Syndrome, peculiar AE, chemotherapy-induced AE, toxic erythema of the palms and soles, palmar-plantar erythema, and Burgdorf’s reaction.
Overview
Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia or Hand-Foot syndrome is a skin-related reaction to chemotherapy and other drugs used to treat patients with cancer.
Historical Perspective
In 1975, Zuehlke[1] reported the first case of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia due to chemotherapy.
Classification
Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia may be classified according to toxicity or severity of symptoms into 4 grades.
| GRADES | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mild erythema, edema, or desquamation that doesn't interfere with daily activities |
| 2 | Blisters or ulcers <2 cm diameter; Erythema edema or desquamation complication but not precluding daily activities. |
| 3 | Blisters, ulcers or edema that interfere with daily activities; Person cannot wear regular clothing. |
| 4 | Lesions complicated with infection; hospitalized or bed ridden |
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiologic mechanism of Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia is under active investivation. Factors that have been implicated involve rapid cell diision in palms and soles, gravitational forces, vascular anatomy peculiar to these areas and tempereature gradients that may be present in distal end of extremities. The higher drug concentration in the eccrine glands of palms and soles also play a role in this condition.
Associated Conditions
Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia is commonly associated with chemotherapy that is used for the treatment of different cancers.
Gross Pathology
The hands are more commonly affected than the feet. The lesion starts of as an abnormal sensation in the palms and soles. Then it matures into painful, tingling, symmetric, well-demarcated swelling and erythematous plaques. This is then followed by a desquamative phase that happens on resolution. [3]
Microscopic Pathology
On histopathology non-specific features seen in Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia. Features include[2]:
- Vacuolar degenration of the basal cell layer
- Mild spongiosis, keratinocytes necrosis
- Papillary dermal edema
- Lymphocytic infiltrates
- Partial separation of epidermis from the dermis
- Dermis shows perivascular infiltrates made up of eosinphils and lymphocytes
- May have presence of eccrine squamous syringometaplasia or netruophilic eccrine hidradenitis.
- Some data suggests that small-fibre neuropathy may cause the pain and dysesthesia.
Causes
Risk Factors
The occurrence of this condition has been linked to dose and prolonged drug exposure especially with more continuous IV infusion, daily ingestion and liposomal encapsulationg of PLD which prolong half-life of drug. The use of cooling mechanism, higher number of PLD cycles, and occurrence of mucositis, neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy are possible predictors of PPE.[4]
Genetics
Common Causes
- Several different Chemotherapeutic agents have been associated with acral erythema[5]. Common ones are listed below.

Differentiating type page name here from other Diseases
- Palmar Plantar Erythrosysesthesia must be differentiated from Tinea manuum which can also present in patients being treated with chemotherapy. Tinea Manuum infection responds to antifungal therapy.
- It should be differentiated from Acute Graft Versus Host Response commonly seen in bone marrow transplanted patients who are on chemotherapy such as in leukemia.[11]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Initially, the patient of Palmar Plantar Erythrosysesthesia experiences a sensation of numbness/tingling in the palms and soles. This progresses into a painful, tingling, symmetric, well-demarcated swelling with an erythematous plaques. It is followed by a phase of desquamation upon resolution.[12]

- Dr Kuznecovs with his colleagues came to the conclusion that atorvastatin and polyprenol combination can prevent PPE due to capecitabine. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/848530
- Application of ointment containing antioxidants with high radical protection factors can effectively prevent the development of PPE.[14]
