Abstract:
Chemotherapy using taxanes have been useful in the treatment of several types of solid tumors. Nail abnormalities have been reported primarily with the use of docetaxel, but also with low dose, weekly paclitaxel. We report a patient with 20-nail onycolysis associated with the use of paclitaxel that resolved after stopping the medication and then recurred after the use of docetaxel, but spared all the nails of a paretic hand.
