  • Title: Severe cutaneous ulceration following treatment with thalidomide for GVHD.
    Author: Schlossberg H, Klumpp T, Sabol P, Herman J, Mangan K.
    Journal: Bone Marrow Transplant; 2001 Jan; 27(2):229-30. PubMed ID: 11281398.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of severe leg ulcerations in patients being treated with thalidomide for graft-versus-host disease following bone marrow transplantation. Local wound care and debridement were attempted, but one patient required skin grafting to ensure healing. We propose that this complication may be due to the antiangiogenic properties of thalidomide and urge careful attention to skin breakdown in patients being treated with this compound.
