Abstract
|
|
|
|
Argyria is a rare skin discoloration caused by silver deposition. We report a case of generalized argyria caused by ingestion of silver solution in a 63-year-old man. He had diffuse slate gray discoloration of sun-exposed skin, prominent face, neck and V of the chest. The histopathologic findings showed brown black granules deposited in the basement membrane zone of eccrine glands, pilosebaceous units, arteriolar wall and dermal elastic fibers.
