Erlotinib Associated Trichomegaly in a Patient with Chronic Latanoprost Use
Journal Title: Journal of Hematology and Oncology Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Trichomegaly is a known adverse effect with the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) and prostaglandin analogue drug classes. We present a chronic Latanoprost user who developed symptomatic trichomegaly subsequent to initiating an EGFRI medication and believe this case offers evidence that the two classes of medications may cause a similar eyelash manifestation through different mechanisms.
