Angiosarcoma, porphyria cutanea tarda, and probable chloracne in a worker exposed to waste oil contamined with 2,3,7,8-tetrechlorodibenzo-p-dioxin / Rob McConnell... [et al.]

Sumario: A worker developed angiosarcoma, porphyria cutanea tarda, and skin lesions characteristic of mild chloracne. About 10 years earlier he had been employed at a truck terminal in Saint Louis, Missouri, at a time when it was sprayed with wast oil contamined with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dionxin (TCDD). The occurrence of these three rare conditions in a single exposed worker supports the aetiological relation between environmental exposure to TCDD and the subsequent development of soft tissue sarcoma and porphyria cutanea tarda
