Abstract
Hydroxyurea is an antitumour agent used most commonly to treat myeloproliferative disorders. We present a clinical observation illustrating different cutaneous side effects susceptible to occur during a long-term treatment by hydroxyurea : leg ulceration, oral ulcer and spinocellular carcinoma. This clinical observation is completed by a review of the literature published on the cutaneous side effects of hydroxyurea treatment.
