Abstract
Docetaxel is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in a variety of cancer treatment regimens. We present a case of apparentdocetaxel-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) in a patient recently treated for metastatic prostate cancer. This medicationis not classically associated with the development of SJS but in our case, along with a number of other case reports, and a singlephase II clinical trial, an association was recognized. We encourage clinicians who employ the use of this medication to beaware of this relationship
