LANG, M-D. occupationally exposed to organic solvents Dermatologies, 1982, September, vol. 165, no.3, pp.186-193 Adult patients having systemic scleroderma with generalized morphea-like skin lesions, whom we had examined during the past 7 years, were re-exanined because their clinical features were somewhat similar to those of occupational scleroderma described hitherto. Out of 9 patients, 7 patients had been engaged in occupations exposing them to organic solvents for a long time before or after .Raynaud's phenomenon appeared. A skin sclerosis was also induced experimentally with some aliphatic hydrocarbons of organic solvents. (Authors' abstract) U^ ifV (/ rJe /> lAJ j^ df7' ,o. n & u. / /y \/ vM W.~ ACc ^'tvs-fj *W.r,S.r^
