Abstract:
In the recent literature, only a few reports deal with generalized pigmentation caused by bismuth treatment. We report a patient developing generalized pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes without further signs of chronic bismuth poisoning following long-term administration of bismuth for pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Bismuth deposits were documented in a skin biopsy.
