Abstract
Bilateral heel skin ulcers developed in a 50-year-old male in the chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia who had been receiving hydroxyurea (HU) therapy for 3 years. Histological examination showed perivascular lymphocytic inflammation without vasculitis. After interruption of HU administration, the heel ulcers were completely resolved within 2 months. The clinical course strongly suggested that the heel ulcers were induced by long-term HU therapy.Entities:
