Summary A number of anticancer drugs are known to produce pigmentary changes affecting the skin or nails. Among them, cisplatin ( cis ‐diamminedichloroplatinum)‐induced hyperpigmentation has been described previously in only two cases. We describe an unusual case with hyperpigmentation confined to periungal areas of the hands and feet after treatment with cisplatin.
