Abstract
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a side effect of some chemotherapeutics appearing as dysesthesia, sharp-edged plaques and symmetrical lesions on palmoplantar areas. Our case is a 68-year-old male patient who developed a slight erythema and desquamation on the palms and soles of the feet during the third cycle of capecitabine treatment for advanced metastatic carcinoma. With this case report we aimed to draw attention to the development of HFS in patients receiving chemotherapy with capecitabine and raise awareness in the issue. The nonexistance of data in contemporary literature about the occurrence of hemorrhagic bullae in the oral mucosa makes our case noteworthy.
