| Abstract |
Translation of: Ölkeratosen und Skrotalkarzinom, eine vermeidbare Berufskrankheit des Metalldrehers. Berufsdermatosen, Aulendorf i. Württ., Germany (Fed.Rep.), Oct. 1975, Vol.23, No.5, p.174-178. Illus. 7 ref. (CIS 76-1959). Case report of a 39-year-old lathe operator who had suffered from oil acne 10 years earlier. After the change to a plant with better conditions of occupational hygiene, the disease healed completely in a short time. Some years later multiple carcinoma of the squamous epithelium developed from wart-like changes of the scrotum, which had at first been overlooked. This illustrates the need for periodic examinations and the importance of hygienic conditions in the plant. |
