Abstract

An epithelioma of the volar face of the right index caused the death of a stomatologist whose skin had been exposed to X-rays for many decades when keeping dental films in place. The casuistics of the clinical picture are dealt with, and arguments are given for its recognition as an occupational disease. The evaluated X-rays dose (the accumulated dose was approx. 2,100 rem, i.e. relatively low) and modern knowledge on radio-medicine are commented with regard to dose-effect relationship.
