Chronic Radiodermatitis
No full textChronic radiodermatitis (CRD) is defi ned as a chronic infl ammation of the
skin associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. It usually presents in
individuals who, because of their profession, have been repeatedly exposed
to low doses of radiation over a long period of time without appropriate
protection. Few treatments have been found which affect the natural history
of this disease: topical 5-fl uorouracil, antibiotic cream, topical corticosteroids
and cryosurgery. Nevertheless, only surgery with excision and
grafting provides satisfactory treatment for extensive radionecrosis. In
selected cases, cryosurgery seems to be a safe and useful treatment for
CRD because it eliminates pain and avoids surgical procedures
Is there a role for the radiologist in dermatology?
No full textThere are at least 100 entities that present a significative conjunction between skin signs and skeletal or other bony changes that can be detected by radiological means (skin and bones and others). The aim of this article is to underline that sometimes a radiological examination could guide to a correct diagnosis in dermatology. In addition, bloody diagnostic procedures could be avoided in ambiguous skeletal lesions if the radiologist remembers that skin and bone diseases exist. We review the literature and suggest a practical classification, including skin markers of occult radiological changes, skin diseases often associated with skeletal or other bony changes that require a radiological evaluation for a diagnosis, radiological changes mimicking cutaneous diseases, skeletal side effects of dermatological therapies (topical and systemic) and skin lesions occurring as a consequence of bone injury
