Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Associated with Hydroxyurea Therapy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
We present the unique case of a patient with polycythemia Vera who developed oral cancer after 10 years of hydroxyurea therapy. Oral lesions are rare complications of long-term hydroxyurea treatment and may be an indication of stopping therapy. He died not from his malignancies, but from a splenectomy after splenomegaly disorder. Keywords:polycythemia, malignancies, splenectomy
