Ecthyma gangrenosum in a patient with metastatic leiomyosarcoma undergoing chemotherapy: a case report
Listen to this summary
The authors present a case of ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) in a 40-year-old patient with metastatic leiomyosarcoma undergoing chemotherapy, aiming to highlight the clinical presentation and management of EG in immunocompromised individuals. They demonstrate that EG can occur without systemic symptoms and emphasize the importance of early detection and prompt antibiotic treatment to prevent complications in vulnerable patients. This case adds to the limited literature on EG in patients with gynecologic malignancies.
