R. Mcconnell et al., ANGIOSARCOMA, PORPHYRIA-CUTANEA-TARDA, AND PROBABLE CHLORACNE IN A WORKER EXPOSED TO WASTE OIL CONTAMINATED WITH 2,3,7,8-TETRACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN, British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 50(8), 1993, pp. 699-703
A worker developed angiosarcoma, porphyria cutanea tarda, and skin les
ions characteristic of mild chloracne. About 10 years earlier he had b
een employed at a truck terminal in Saint Louis, Missouri, at a time w
hen it was sprayed with waste oil contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlor
odibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The occurrence of these three rare condition
s in a single exposed worker supports the aetiological relation betwee
n environmental exposure to TCDD and the subsequent development of sof
t tissue sarcoma and porphyria cutanea tarda.
