Abstract :
Cement has a wide industrial usage and it is the leading cause of occupational skin diseases among construction workers, which are present as contact urticarial and contact dermatitis. A 79-year-old water sewage worker man referred to our department with numerous symmetric hyper-keratotic papules with an erythematous base on both hands and feet for about 20 years. In this case, a large number of hyperkeratotic papules on common sites of cement contact are significant which is not reported among literature to the author’s knowledge. These lesions are painful and pruritic; however, symptoms releived after stopping cement exposure. In our case, occupational injury occurred because the patient’s lacks of knowledge about safe working with cement and its importance.
