[Surgical treatment of some "historical" x-ray dermatites (author's transl)].
Six cases are presented: two degenerated and four necrotic X-ray dermatitis. Four patients had received X-ray therapy for benign lesions. All suffered long standing X-ray dermatitis lasting up to 60 years. The princip of treatment is a complete excision of the diseased skin and the covering of the defect with flaps. Such severe cases which need a complex treatment, must be handled with caution. X-ray therapy is a powerful but dangerous tool; its dangers are often known late; it should be reserved for severe conditions.
