“…The avidity of a FDG-PET scan relies on radio-labelled fluoro-deoxyglucose ( 18 F) uptake by cells with higher turnover and metabolic rate. 8,9 False positive results in up to 6.5 per cent can occur due to concurrent inflammation, such as post-surgical, radiation, chemotherapy or infection. 10 It is presumed that the tattoo ink inflammatory and hypersensitivity reaction is responsible for the observed PET avidity.…”

We present a case of positron emission tomography (PET)–avid internal mammary lymphadenopathy, prompting open excisional biopsy of the lymph node in the setting of concern about breast-implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) or breast cancer recurrence. Histopathological examination revealed reactive lymphadenopathy with tattoo ink and no malignancy. We undertook a review of the literature to investigate the frequency of tattoo ink related PET-avid lymphadenopathy, and false positive PET scan results from tattooing. Lymphadenopathy related to tattoo ink has been reported previously, however this is the only case of benign PET positive tattoo lymphadenopathy resulting in unnecessary invasive surgery reported to date.

BACKGROUND:The concept of immunocompromised districts of skin has been developed by Ruocco and helps to explain certain aspects of the macromorphology of skin diseases. This concept unites the isomorphic response of Koebner and the isotopic response of Wolf.CASE REPORTS:We present different cutaneous conditions which can lead to immunocompromised districts of skin such as scars, radiodermatitis, lymphedema, disturbed innervation or mechanical friction etc. Typical and rarer skin disorders associated with them are discussed and illustrated by their observations.CONCLUSION:At this moment, we wish to inform dermatologists and non-dermatologists about Ruocco’s concept and its implications.

“…Clinical adverse effects may manifest locally in the tattoo at the site of injected pigment, but it has also been suggested to reach the circulation and internal organs and exert mutagenic events. These adverse effects have a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations in the skin ranging from mild and intermittent sun sensitivity to allergy, sarcoid granulomas, neurosensitive reactions, and keratoacanthomas, which are associated with a potentially significant disease burden [3,4,[10][11][12][13]. Medically, the phenomenon has received little attention and has only recently been recognized.…”

Background In Europe, Australia and the US, the estimated overall prevalence of tattooing is around 10-20%. Tattoo ink often comprises harmful chemicals and epidemiological studies on adverse effects of tattoos are lacking. Objectives We aimed to estimate the prevalence of tattoo-associated skin reactions in the general Danish population and describe individuals with tattoo-associated skin reactions by socio-demographic factors and tattoo characteristics. Methods The study was based on respondents aged 16 years or older from a population-based 2021 survey entitled "How are you?" conducted in the Central Denmark Region (n = 33,925). Logistic regression was used to characterise individuals with tattoo-associated skin reactions by socio-demographic factors (gender, age, educational level and ethnic background). Also, the relationship between size, age and colour of the tattoo and tattoo-associated skin reactions was studied. Model 1 was adjusted for all socio-demographic variables (gender, age, educational level and ethnic background); model 2, for all socio-demographic variables and tattoo characteristics (size, age and colour). Results In total, 21.1% reported that they had at least one tattoo, 10.2% hereof reported that they had experienced tattoo-associated skin reactions (itching, pain, inflammation and swelling) beyond the first three weeks after the tattoo was made. Lower age (16-44 years) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) ≥ 1.75), larger tattoos (AOR ≥ 1.61) and having had tattoos for more than ten years (AOR = 2.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45-5.88) increased the odds of tattoo-associated skin reactions. In general, tattooed individuals with colours other than black had higher odds of tattoo-associated skin reactions. Conclusion Among participants with at least one tattoo, 10.2% had experienced tattoo-associated skin reactions beyond the first three weeks after their tattoo was made. This finding highlights the need for safer tattoo inks to prevent the adverse health problems experienced by many individuals with tattoos.
