Unusual Cutaneous Toxicity After Prolonged Use of Hydroxyurea in Polycythemia Vera: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Hematology and Oncology Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Hydroxyurea (HU) is commonly used for the long-term treatment of patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. The drug is usually well tolerated in the large majority of subjects, although systemic and/or localized toxicities have seldom been reported. Here we report a case of unusual cutaneous toxicity due long-term use of HU in a patient with polycythemia vera.
