Fluorouracil, vinorelbine and daunorubicin can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails and oral mucosa. Although not characteristically flagellate in nature, pigmentation caused by these agents can follow the distribution of veins (called serpentine supravenous hyperpigmentation) or may simply be patchy and macular (flat nonspecific colour change).
