title: Nail hyperpigmentation secondary to therapy with doxorubicin.
abstract: Hyperpigmentation of the fingernails can occur during therapy with doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Two patterns are common: diffuse, and transversely banded. The pigment is believed to be melanin, and both patterns disappeared with discontinuation of therapy and subsequent nail growth.
