Abstract

The association of skin tumors and long-term use of hydroxyurea is recently recognized. We report a case of a patient who developed squamous cell carcinoma on the face during long-term treatment with hydroxyurea for polycythemia vera. As hydroxyurea is frequently used to treat myeloproliferative diseases, we suggest the clinical awareness of the increased risk of skin cancers in patients with long-term hydroxyurea therapy.
