Transient, nonpigmenting fixed drug eruption caused by radiopaque contrast media.
A unique case of a transient, nonpigmenting fixed drug eruption caused by the radiopaque contrast medium iothalamate is reported. The patient had on the medial aspect of the thigh a fixed solitary, recurrent, indurated, erythematous plaque, which resolved within 2 days. The scant literature available on nonpigmenting fixed drug eruptions is reviewed.
