Abstract
Treatment with Imatinib is generally well-tolerated, and in the majority of patients side effects are only represented by mild to moderate haematological toxicity (Druker 2001).
However, a wide spectrum of cutaneous reaction related to imatinib administration has been reported in recent literature. In this chapter, a thorough description of cutaneous adverse events related to Imatinib treatment is provided and the pathogenetics hypothesis will be discussed.
