Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic agent which is converted to fluorouracil by thymidine phosphorylase in human body. It is one of the commonly used agents in colorectal and metastatic breast cancers. Hand-foot syndrome is most commonly observed adverse effect of capecitabine; however, it has several adverse cutaneous and mucosal effects.
