abstract: We describe the case of a 78-year old woman, with rheumatoid arthritis, 3 years of regular parenteral gold administration and Chrysiasis. Chrysiasis is a rare permanent pigmentation of the skin resulting from the parenteral administration of gold. The cause of the pigmentation is multifactorial and not fully established at the moment.
