Periorbital edema secondary to imatinib mesylate
Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec((R))) is a well-established pharmacologic treatment for all phases of chronic myeloid leukemia and for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Edema-related side effects are relatively common in imatinib therapy with the periocular skin representing one of the most common sites for localized edema. While the adverse effect of periorbital edema with imatinib ...
متن کاملPityriasis rosea-like Drug Eruption Induced by Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec™)
Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™, STI571), a selective inhibitor of BCR-ABL, c-Kit, and platelet-derived factor receptor, has been used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Although its use has been associated with various adverse cutaneous reactions, pityriasis rosea-like drug eruptions are rare. Here, we report a case of pityriasis rosea-like drug erupti...
متن کاملEffects of Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) on Human Islet NF-kappaB Activation and Chemokine Production In Vitro
PURPOSE Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) is a drug that potently counteracts diabetes both in humans and in animal models for human diabetes. We have previously reported that this compound in human pancreatic islets stimulates NF-κB signaling and islet cell survival. The aim of this study was to investigate control of NF-κB post-translational modifications exerted by Imatinib and whether any such ef...
متن کاملHematopathology / IMATINIB MESYLATE (GLEEVEC) FOR CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Following Therapy With Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) Bone Marrow Histopathology and Correlation With Genetic Status
We evaluated bone marrow pathologic features and cytogenetic and molecular genetic status of 13 patients with interferon-resistant, chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), treated with imatinib mesylate (Gleevec). All had morphologic evidence of CML in the blood and bone marrow and were positive for bcr-abl by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction, fluorescence in situ hybridiza...
