Arsenic is one of the WHO’s 10 chemicals of major public health concern, as
long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic are observed on the skin after
a minimum exposure of approximately five years. We present a rare case of
arsenic-induced severe actinic damage and squamous cell carcinomas in a male
patient who had occupational exposure to arsenic from the agricultural industry
since the 1930’s in Bedfordshire, UK. We discuss management options and offer
a treatment algorithm.
Rynda Nitiahpapand is currently working as Dermatol-
ogist in Bedford Hospital South Wing, England.
