Skin toxicities related to Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors: an updated review

Cutaneous toxicities related to BTKi are often underrecognized but clinically significant, ranging from xerosis and bruising to lichenoid eruptions and vasculitis. First-generation agents, particularly ibrutinib, are associated with a broader spectrum of dermatologic adverse events, whereas newer BTKi show improved selectivity and potentially reduced skin toxicity. Early recognition, standardized dermatologic evaluation, and proactive multidisciplinary management are essential to minimize patient discomfort, preserve quality of life, and prevent unnecessary treatment discontinuation.

Abstract

Cutaneous toxicities related to BTKi are often underrecognized but clinically significant, ranging from xerosis and bruising to lichenoid eruptions and vasculitis. First-generation agents, particularly ibrutinib, are associated with a broader spectrum of dermatologic adverse events, whereas newer BTKi show improved selectivity and potentially reduced skin toxicity. Early recognition, standardized dermatologic evaluation, and proactive multidisciplinary management are essential to minimize patient discomfort, preserve quality of life, and prevent unnecessary treatment discontinuation.
