Cyclophosphamide-induced melanonychia
View through CrossRef
A case of drug-induced melanonychia due to cyclophosphamide is described in a patient with lupus nephritis. This resolved completely at 20 weeks after stopping the drug. Clinicians should be aware of the causes of melanonychia, and, if drug-induced melanonychia is suspected, the offending drug should be stopped whenever possible.
