El bexaroteno es un análogo de retinoide sintético caracterizado por unirse selectivamente a un tipo de receptores retinoides (receptores X) que fue diseñado para el tratamiento, entre otros, de estadios avanzados de linfoma cutáneo de células T resistentes a tratamientos convencionales. Se ha descrito que hasta el 40% de los pacientes que reciben bexaroteno pueden desarrollar hipotiroidismo secundario y hasta el 70%, hiperlipemia mixta grave, efecto común a otros retinoides. Presentamos a 3 pacientes que desarrollaron hipotiroidismo central y dislipemia tras el inicio de tratamiento con bexaroteno; en uno de ellos pudimos observar que estas alteraciones remitían tras la supresión del tratamiento.

Palabras clave:
Ligando selectivo del receptor X retinoico
Hipotiroidismo central
Bexaroteno

Bexarotene is a synthetic retinoid analogue that joints selectively to retinoid X receptor and has been designed for treatment of advanced stages of cutaneous T- cell lymphoma. Up to a 40% of patients treated with bexarotene develop central hypothyroidism while severe mixed dyslipidemia may be present in up to 70%. We report 3 patients that developed central hypothyroidism and dyslipidemia after bexarotene treatment was initiated. In one of them, we observed normalization of the thyroid function when bexarotene treatment was stopped.

Key words:
Retinoid X receptor-selective ligands
Central hypothyroidism
