Abstract
- Bleomycin, an antitumor antibiotic, has several dose-related skin toxicities, including hyperpigmentation, sclerosis, gangrenes, nail changes, and erythema in certain selected skin sites. A case of hyperpigmentation in a linear pattern due to in tavenous injection of bleomycin in a 37-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma at nasopharynx is described. After 9 months since bleomycin chemotherapy started, dark brownish colored linear hyperpigmentation developed along veins of the skin of both arms.
