Hydroxyurea is a cytostatic agent that has been widely used for the treatment of myeloproliferative disorders and sickle cell anaemia. The side-effects of hydroxyurea therapy on skin, nail, bone marrow and gastrointestinal system have been reported. Nail hyperpigmentation and skin dryness developed in a 51-year-old male patient with polycytemia rubra vera following 2 months of hydroxyurea therapy. We present this case to stress the potential cutaneous side-effects of hydroxyurea therapy and to increase clinical awareness of the physicians.Keywords: Hydroxyurea, xerodermaTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2005, 25:452-454
