Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) is a common dermatologic adverse reaction secondary to capecitabine use, but the skin toxicity rarely involves the genitals. We describe a case of PPE with scrotal and penile involvement secondary to capecitabine chemotherapy concurrent with radiotherapy. The patient presented with pain and erythema involving the penis and scrotum during the fifth week of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine for T3c N2b M0 low rectal adenocarcinoma. The onset and severity of symptoms in the genitals were loosely associated with the symptoms in the hands and feet. The pain and erythema were self-limiting and improved 11 days after capecitabine discontinuation and local supportive care.
