ABSTRACT
A case of unique acute bone marrow toxicity and pancytopenia following subcutaneous exposure to lead chromate, xylene, and ethylbenzene in a previously healthy patient is reported. The patient sustained an extensive degloving injury to his lower extremity. The wound was contaminated with traffic paint containing lead chromate pigment along with a large volume of xylene and ethylbenzene solvent. Consequences of the patient's clinical course and management of degloving injuries are discussed.
