Abstract

Fluoroscopy induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) is a rare complication which can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Recently fluoroscopy use has increased and the diagnostic and the theuropathic fluoroscopy procedures are becoming more complex; therefore incidence of FICRD is rising. Because of presentation often occurs after months or years patients are sometimes unaware of exposure to radiation. Early diagnosis is important for both therapy and radiation-induced malignancies. We report these cases to emphasize the importance of recognizing fluoroscopy as a cause of chronic radiation dermatitis which requires an early diagnosis and a good clinical follow-up.
