A Case of Fiddler's Neck
Abstract
- Fiddler's neck was first described by Peachey and Matthews in 1978 to denote a condition characterized by focal lichenification and pigmentation on the left side of violinist and violist neck just below the angle of the jaw. The etiologic facters are friction, local pressure, occlusion, poor hygiene and sweating. In only a few cases has a specific hypersensitivity to one or more of the ch!n rest material(wood, lacquer, dye) or the metallic fixing been found responsible. We report a case of 15-year-old female patient with Fiddler's neck who has played the violin for 8 years.
