Vegetating iododerma with fatal outcome.
A 65-year-old woman on whom a cardiac catherization using iodine contrast had been performed developed 5 days later acute renal failure, respiratory insufficiency and cutaneous lesions consisting of two great vegetating masses located on both cheeks and pustular vesicular lesions on the extremities. A fortnight later, the patient died. We would like to stress this case because of the exceptional nature of vegetating iododerma at present, and the importance of recognizing a possibly fatal disease.
