Abstract
A nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurred in a 41-yr-old white woman who received Fowler''s solution (potassium arsenite) almost yearly for more than 20 yr for the treatment of psoriasis. Palmar and plantar keratoses were present. Because of the rarity of this malignant neoplasm in white people, a relationship with As ingestion is suggested.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
