==Overview==
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. <ref name="urlAcral Erythema - Holland-Frei Cancer Medicine - NCBI Bookshelf2" />
[[Prognosis]] is generally good and [[Symptom|symptoms]] usually resolve within 1 - 2 weeks after stopping the [[Causality|causative]] [[chemotherapeutic agent]]. If left untreated, palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) can progress rapidly. PPE is not life-threatening, but it can be very debilitating and can significantly impair [[quality of life]].

===Natural History===
*The [[symptoms]] of palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) usually develop 1 - 21 days after higher-[[dose]] pulse [[Therapy|therapies]] and up to 2 - 10 months after continuous low-[[dose]] [[Therapy|therapies]].
*PPE development appears to be dependent on the [[dose]] of the [[:Category:Drugs|drug]].
*Both peak [[drug concentration]] and total cumulative [[dose]] determine its occurrence since both [[bolus]] [[Infusion|infusions]] and continuous low-[[dose]] administration can cause a [[dose]]-dependent [[drug reaction]].<ref name="pmid3977204">{{cite journal| author=Baer MR, King LE, Wolff SN| title=Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia and cytarabine. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1985 | volume= 102 | issue= 4 | pages= 556 | pmid=3977204 | doi=10.7326/0003-4819-102-4-556_1 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=3977204  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid2926468">{{cite journal| author=Lokich JJ, Ahlgren JD, Gullo JJ, Philips JA, Fryer JG| title=A prospective randomized comparison of continuous infusion fluorouracil with a conventional bolus schedule in metastatic colorectal carcinoma: a Mid-Atlantic Oncology Program Study. | journal=J Clin Oncol | year= 1989 | volume= 7 | issue= 4 | pages= 425-32 | pmid=2926468 | doi=10.1200/JCO.1989.7.4.425 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=2926468  }} </ref><ref name="pmid6223674">{{cite journal| author=Herzig RH, Wolff SN, Lazarus HM, Phillips GL, Karanes C, Herzig GP| title=High-dose cytosine arabinoside therapy for refractory leukemia. | journal=Blood | year= 1983 | volume= 62 | issue= 2 | pages= 361-9 | pmid=6223674 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=6223674  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid2528937">{{cite journal| author=Kroll SS, Koller CA, Kaled S, Dreizen S| title=Chemotherapy-induced acral erythema: desquamating lesions involving the hands and feet. | journal=Ann Plast Surg | year= 1989 | volume= 23 | issue= 3 | pages= 263-5 | pmid=2528937 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=2528937  }} </ref>

===Complications===


==Natural History==
* PPE is not life-threatening, but it can be very debilitating and can significantly impair quality of life.
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.<ref name="urlAcral Erythema - Holland-Frei Cancer Medicine - NCBI Bookshelf2">{{cite web |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK12891/ |title=Acral Erythema - Holland-Frei Cancer Medicine - NCBI Bookshelf |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>
*If [[chemotherapy]] is continued despite the development of the PPE:
** The [[Lesion|lesions]] deteriorate, and [[tenderness]] and [[edema]] may restrict the fine movements of the [[Finger|fingers]] <ref name="pmid7887678">{{cite journal| author=Jucglà A, Sais G, Navarro M, Peyri J| title=Palmoplantar keratoderma secondary to chronic acral erythema due to tegafur. | journal=Arch Dermatol | year= 1995 | volume= 131 | issue= 3 | pages= 364-5 | pmid=7887678 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7887678  }} </ref>
** The [[erythema]] becomes darker or violaceous and spreads to involve the entire surface of the [[Palms of the hands|palms]] and [[Sole (foot)|soles]].
** The [[pain]] may be severe enough to limit [[activities of daily living|activities of daily living (ADL)]].
** In some [[patients]], [[lesions]] may evolve into a [[palmoplantar keratoderma]]. <ref name="pmid9059693">{{cite journal| author=Rios-Buceta L, Buezo GF, Peñas PF, Dauden E, Fernandez-Herrera J, Garcia-Diez A| title=Palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome and other cutaneous side-effects after treatment with Tegafur. | journal=Acta Derm Venereol | year= 1997 | volume= 77 | issue= 1 | pages= 80-1 | pmid=9059693 | doi=10.2340/00015555778081 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9059693  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid7887678">{{cite journal| author=Jucglà A, Sais G, Navarro M, Peyri J| title=Palmoplantar keratoderma secondary to chronic acral erythema due to tegafur. | journal=Arch Dermatol | year= 1995 | volume= 131 | issue= 3 | pages= 364-5 | pmid=7887678 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7887678  }} </ref>


One of the complications associated with PPE is loss of fingerprints. It is documented in a patient who was treated with capecitabine and detained at an airport while travelling because of lack of finger prints.<ref name="pmid19470576">{{cite journal| author=Wong M, Choo SP, Tan EH| title=Travel warning with capecitabine. | journal=Ann Oncol | year= 2009 | volume= 20 | issue= 7 | pages= 1281 | pmid=19470576 | doi=10.1093/annonc/mdp278 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19470576  }}</ref>
===Prognosis===


==Prognosis==
*If the [[Causality|causative]] [[chemotherapeutic agent]] is stopped within a few days of the development of PPE:
PPE variably recurs with resumption of chemotherapy. Long-term chemotherapy may also result in reversible [[palmoplantar keratoderma]]. Symptoms resolve 1-2 weeks after cessation of chemotherapy (Apisarnthanarax and Duvic 2003).
** Areas of [[pallor]] with [[Blister|blisters]] develop, and eventually [[Desquamation|desquamate]] with extensive but superficial cracking and [[exfoliation]].
** A gradual clearing of [[symptoms]] will occur over a period of 2 weeks.
** Rarely, long term [[sequelae]] may occur despite cessation of [[chemotherapy]], with persistence of abnormal [[sensation]] of the affected [[digits]]. <ref name="pmid7629773">{{cite journal| author=Banfield GK, Crate ID, Griffiths CL| title=Long-term sequelae of Palmar-Plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome secondary to 5-fluorouracil therapy. | journal=J R Soc Med | year= 1995 | volume= 88 | issue= 6 | pages= 356P-357P | pmid=7629773 | doi= | pmc=1295248 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7629773  }} </ref>
* If appropriate management is not implemented rapidly, PPE can rapidly progress.
* Re-exposure to the [[Causality|causative]] agent with similar [[dosage]] has resulted in the [[reaction]] to recur in the majority of the [[patients]].<ref name="pmid2817635">{{cite journal| author=Curran CF, Luce JK| title=Fluorouracil and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1989 | volume= 111 | issue= 10 | pages= 858 | pmid=2817635 | doi=10.7326/0003-4819-111-10-858_1 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=2817635  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid9329890">{{cite journal| author=Demirçay Z, Gürbüz O, Alpdoğan TB, Yücelten D, Alpdoğan O, Kurtkaya O et al.| title=Chemotherapy-induced acral erythema in leukemic patients: a report of 15 cases. | journal=Int J Dermatol | year= 1997 | volume= 36 | issue= 8 | pages= 593-8 | pmid=9329890 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9329890  }} </ref><ref name="pmid6497196">{{cite journal| author=Lokich JJ, Moore C| title=Chemotherapy-associated palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1984 | volume= 101 | issue= 6 | pages= 798-9 | pmid=6497196 | doi=10.7326/0003-4819-101-6-798 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=6497196  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid4051360">{{cite journal| author=Peters WG, Willemze R| title=Palmar-plantar skin changes and cytarabine. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1985 | volume= 103 | issue= 5 | pages= 805 | pmid=4051360 | doi=10.7326/0003-4819-103-5-805_1 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=4051360  }} </ref>

Overview

Prognosis is generally good and symptoms usually resolve within 1 - 2 weeks after stopping the causative chemotherapeutic agent. If left untreated, palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) can progress rapidly. PPE is not life-threatening, but it can be very debilitating and can significantly impair quality of life.
