ABSTRACT
The toxicity of the 5-fluorouracil is strongly influence by the dosage used, the rate and duration of drug administration. However, common side effects of 5-fluorouracil include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia. We report two cases with inoperable carcinoma of stomach who developed serpentine supravenous hyperpigmentation at the 4th cycle of chemotherapy.
