Radiation recall phenomenon is an acute, egzematous reaction that develops throughout a previously irradiated area, precipitated by the administration of docetaxel, doxorubicin, gemcitabine and paclitaxel.

Three day after the first cycle of trastuzumab monotherapy, dermatitis developed in the previously irradiated skin.\u
