Abstract
Pemetrexed, a drug used in lung cancer and pleural mesotheliomas is mainly associated with hematological toxicities. Cutaneous toxicities, although well known are rare. This is a case of a metastatic adenocarcinoma lung with recurrent and localised skin lesions following each cycle of pemetrexed, which is the first report of its kind.
