Abstract

Fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) is a cutaneous disorder that results from prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation during interventional procedures. With the expanded use of interventional procedures, there is increased fluoroscopic exposure. However, diagnosis and treatment of such disorder remain difficult. Herein, we report on a case of FICRD that occurred in the right subscapular area.
