Abstract:

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.
