[Chronic radiodermatitis--a historical and current diagnosis].
Chronic radiodermatitis was already diagnosed a few years after the discovery of X-rays. Despite the fact that protection should be known to be necessary to avoid radiodermatitis, cases of chronic radiodermatitis still occur. The present case report describes a nurse who endured years of direct hand exposure, leading to chronic radiodermatitis ten years after cessation of exposure.
