Abstract

Taxanes are effective antineoplastic drugs against different solid tumors. Its use has been related to the development of scleroderma like skin lesions which in some patients are accompanied by visceral involvement, Raynaud, capillary alterations and positivitation of antibodies. We present the case of a patient who, after receiving paclitaxel for an ovarian neoplasia, develops a systemic scleroderma with rapidly evolving interstitial pulmonary involvement.
