title: A unique case of subacute radiodermatitis.
abstract: Subacute radiodermatitis is a rare cutaneous disease induced by ionizing radiation. It often is mistaken for contact dermatitis, fixed drug eruption, or connective-tissue disease. Routine use of fluoroscopy has flourished in many types of medical procedures. We present a case of subacute radiodermatitis stemming from prolonged fluoroscopic exposure during angiography; the lesion appeared only at the site of contact for the ground plate, remote from the field of radiation.
