title: Periungal hyperpigmentation induced by cisplatin.
abstract: A number of anticancer drugs are known to produce pigmentary changes affecting the skin or nails. Among them, cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum)-induced hyperpigmentation has been described previously in only two cases. We describe an unusual case with hyperpigmentation confined to periungal areas of the hands and feet after treatment with cisplatin.
