A 15-month-old boy presented with new onset symmetric erythema of the conchal bowls bilaterally in the setting of treatment with cytarabine. Findings were consistent with a diagnosis of toxic erythema of chemotherapy, an adverse effect of chemotherapy. In this report, we detail this uncommon manifestation in a young child along with a brief literature review of the background, pathophysiology, and treatment strategies of toxic erythema of chemotherapy to increase awareness of this presentation in pediatric populations.
