Cutaneous mercury (Hg) granuloma is a rare disorder caused by the traumatic introduction of elemental Hg into skin or soft tissue. Typically, cutaneous elemental Hg deposits cause limited systemic effects. Prominent systemic toxicity may, however, occasionally occur. Herein we report a case of cutaneous Hg granuloma resulting in chronic painful local wounds and systemic toxicity in the form of abdominal pain, visual disturbances, and psychiatric abnormalities. The related literature also is reviewed.
皮肤汞肉芽肿是一种罕见的疾病，由单质汞外伤性引入皮肤或软组织引起。通常，皮肤单质汞沉积引起的全身影响有限。然而，偶尔也可能出现明显的全身毒性。在此，我们报告一例皮肤汞肉芽肿病例，该病例导致慢性疼痛性局部伤口，并出现腹痛、视觉障碍和精神异常等全身毒性表现。同时还对相关文献进行了综述。
