Occupational Generalized Argyria / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Argyria is a rare skin discoloration caused by deposition of silver granules in the skin. Recently, argyria has become uncommon, mainly due to the avoidance of both medications containing silver and occupational exposure in the silver industry. However, the recosnition of this condition remains important. We report an interesting case of generalized argyria in a 30-year old man, employed in the mobile telephone subunits industry.
