Novel Insights into Epiploic Appendagitis in a Breast Cancer Patient on Abemaciclib: A Case Report

This case is the first of its kind to propose a novel association between the use of targeted therapies such as abemaciclib and the development of inflammatory conditions such as epiploic appendagitis. It emphasises the crucial role of clinical suspicion and appropriate imaging in establishing this rare diagnosis. Further research is warranted to explore potential links between CDK4/6 inhibitors and the development of epiploic appendagitis.

Abstract

This case is the first of its kind to propose a novel association between the use of targeted therapies such as abemaciclib and the development of inflammatory conditions such as epiploic appendagitis. It emphasises the crucial role of clinical suspicion and appropriate imaging in establishing this rare diagnosis. Further research is warranted to explore potential links between CDK4/6 inhibitors and the development of epiploic appendagitis.
