Abstract

We present a patient with dermal argyria as a cutaneous manifestation of a silver-coated megaprosthesis used for a distal femoral osteosarcoma. Histological and electron microscopic analyses also showed silver deposition in the dermis.

Keywords: Dermal argyria; distal femur; osteosarcoma; silver
