Fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis: a report of three cases

Dermatol Online J. 2009 Jan 15;15(1):3.

Abstract

We report these cases to emphasize the importance of recognizing fluoroscopy as a cause of radiation dermatitis. The diagnosis of fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis should be raised when patients present with morpheaform, telangiectatic, or ulcerative skin findings in the characteristic locations.
