Abstract
- Doxifluridine is a pyrimidine derivative and is activated to 5-fluorouracil by pyrimidine phosphorylase. Multiple acral hyperpigmented macules have been reported in patients treated with systemic 5-fluorouracil or some of its prodrugs. However, there have been no reports of this adverse event being induced by doxifluridine. Herein we present a 42-year-old woman with multiple pigmented lesions on the palm and sole after chemotherapy with oral doxifluridine.
