Figure 1 Developmental skin defects in Egfr-deficient mice (A and C) and skin toxicity in patients treated with EGFR inhibitors (B and D) Gross images of severe skin and hair pathology in a Egfr mutant mouse (A) and folliculitis in a patient susceptible to EGFR inhibition therapy induced skin toxicity (B). Comparative histology of hair follicle in Egfr nullizygous skin (C) and follicle from patient with EGFR therapy-induced folliculitis (D). Rupture of follicular epithelium and strong mixed inflammatory response are evident in both C and D.
