This article discusses a case of arsenical keratosis with unusual lung involvement. Arsenical keratosis is a skin condition characterized by hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, as well as yellowish hyperkeratotic papules and plaques. It is caused by long-term ingestion of arsenic above the safe limit. In this case, a 65-year-old male shopkeeper from West Bengal presented with multiple lesions on his palms and trunk. Further examination revealed lung involvement, and a diagnosis of arsenical keratosis with basal cell carcinoma and lung malignancy was made. The patient was referred for further treatment. The article emphasizes the importance of extensive evaluation in cases of chronic arsenic exposure to rule out internal organ involvement. [Extracted from the article] |
