Chemoports are totally implantable venous access devices, which are retained over long periods of time to facilitate chemotherapy administration. Skin erosion is a rare complication wherein there is breach in the skin overlying the septum. This study reports the author's experience of skin erosion in three cases. Ports were explanted in all cases. Skin incision for port placement should be placed away from the access site and repeated access at the same point must be avoided to lessen the incidence of skin erosions.
化疗端口是完全植入式静脉通路装置，可长期留置以方便进行化疗给药。皮肤侵蚀是一种罕见的并发症，即覆盖隔膜的皮肤出现破损。本研究报告了作者对3例皮肤侵蚀病例的经验。所有病例均取出了端口。放置端口的皮肤切口应远离穿刺部位，并且必须避免在同一点反复穿刺，以降低皮肤侵蚀的发生率。
