Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are rare but potentially life-threatening adverse drug reactions, characterized by widespread necrosis and detachment of the epidermis. Only a few cases in the literature have linked this severe drug reaction to chemotherapy agents. Herein, we report a case of TEN that developed following chemotherapy with cisplatin for cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
