ABSTRACT

Radiodermatitis is a group of skin lesions that appear after prolonged or repeated exposure of the skin to ionizing radiation manifested by: inflammation, atrophy, partial or complete loss of appendages, telangiectasias, pigmentary changes, fibrosis, ulceration and tumors. Factors contributing to skin toxicity are high radiation doses, repeated interventions, short intervals between exposures, size of irradiated site, nutritional status, clear cutaneous phototypes, systemic diseases and drugs. Cases of skin injury due to radiation-induced after fluoroscopically guided procedures are infrequent, doses of radiation received are low and do not exceed the threshold necessary to damage the skin. We report a case of radiodermitis secondary to fluoroscopy in a 74-year-old male with multiple hemodynamic interventions.
