Summary : Docetaxel and paclitaxel are the main drugs pertaining to the taxanes family. Nail alterations associated with docetaxel therapy are not a rare event, but they have rarely been reported secondary to paclitaxel therapy, probably because of its more recent use. We present two cases of onycholysis and nail discoloration secondary to paclitaxel therapy.
Keywords : paclitaxel, onycholysis, taxanes.
