AB  - A case of dermatitis and myositis in the upper thorax following administration of 
      gemcitabine in a 65-year-old woman with metastatic non small cell lung cancer 
      (NSCLC) is described. The reaction and time course suggest a radiation recall 
      phenomenon. This report joins a small but increasing number of radiation recall 
      events related to gemcitabine. The possibility of a radiation recall reaction 
      should be borne in mind when a patient develops symptoms in a previously 
      irradiated site without evidence of disease progression at that site. Cessation 
      of the precipitating drug is the most important step in management and systemic 
      steroids may hasten symptomatic relief.
