ABSTRACT
Skin has long been known to be a very radiosensitive organ. Furthermore, the damaging effects of radiation exposure induced by fluoroscopic procedures have been recognized for some time. However, accurate diagnosis of fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) can be very challenging, since the provided clinical history regarding radiation exposure may not be accurate and the signs of cutaneous radiation injury may develop months to years after radiation exposure. Recognition of FICRD is important to avoid unnecessary treatment and interventions and also guarantees appropriate surveillance for radiation-induced malignancy. We herein report a case of a 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with radiation dermatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy (ERCP).
