[Leg ulcers occurring under tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (sunitinib, nilotinib)].

Background: Certain anticancer drugs are known to induce leg ulcers, mainly chemotherapy agents such as hydroxyurea. We report 2 cases of leg ulcers in cancer patients treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, sunitinib and nilotinib, and we discuss the role of these treatments in the pathogenesis of leg ulcers.
