| Zusammenfassung: | A 63-year-old man with Olmsted syndrome, which was causing him severe pain and had been impairing his quality of life since birth, was treated with erlotinib 100 mg once daily. This led to a dramatic improvement in both his pain and quality of life. Owing to side-effects, the dose was reduced to 100 mg three times a week, which has maintained efficacy. Side-effects are now minimal. |
