The aim was to analyse the development of leg ulcers (LUs) associated with chemotherapy to identify their characteristics and management. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A retrospective multicentre study was conducted across nine French dermatology departments and one haematology department. We collected information on cancer history, cofactors of LUs, and management and evolution of the LUs. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The study included 45 patients divided into three groups: hydroxyurea treatment; targeted therapies including TKIs; and taxane treatment. Certain factors were common for arteriovenous leg ulcers, especially advanced age, the frequency of vascular cofactors and the painful nature of the ulcer; however, significant differences were apparent. In particular, the delay between the introduction of chemotherapy and the beginning of the LU. The delay in appearance of the LU was shorter for patients in the taxanes and TKIs groups versus patients treated with hydroxyurea (hydroxyurea versus taxanes: p&lt;0.0001; hydroxyurea versus TKIs: p=0.004). Following the appearance of the LU, treatment was normally stopped (88%), with cicatrisation (91%) occurring within a period of 4.6 months on average. These results confirm the known association of hydroxyurea and LUs; however, other chemotherapies, including targeted therapies and taxanes, appear to be involved. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Prescribers should be made aware of skin side-effects of chemotherapies and the risk\u2013benefit of discontinuing chemotherapy for ulcer healing should be raised. Closer monitoring to control identified cofactors of LUs is required in patients receiving this type of chemotherapy, especially if they have LU-predisposing factors.
