Abstract:
A 47-year-old male suffered soft tissue injuries 8 years ago that had been covered by meshed split thickness skin graft. During the last 2 years, he developed a chronic eczema (atopic dermatitis) on both recipient and donor sites on the lower extremities. Eczema on skin graft sites has been described rarely. However, this case is unique since both donor and recipient site were involved. We consider our observation as another example of Ruocco's immunocompromised districts of skin.
