title: [Late skin symptoms of arsenic poisoning in the arsenic endemy in Bugac-Alsómonostor].
abstract: The population in an arsenic polluted area of Hungary was studied in respect of dermatological signs. Melanosis was observed in 23,75 per cent and keratosis in 10,83 per cent. Vitiligo has been present in 3 per cent of the population being partly associated to melanosis and partly independent. The observations suggest that arsenic does not only induce malignant neoplasms but also enhances development of benign skin tumours.
