Following such therapy, patients may experience complications classified as early/intermediate or delayed side effects. We report an unusual side effect after oral I-131 therapy in the form of a skin eruption (iododerma).Case Presentation: We describe a case of a 60-year-old female, presented with pustular lesions all over skin after radioiodine therapy for CA thyroid. On the basis of history and clinical examination, diagnosis of iododerma was made.Conclusion: Iododerma is a very rare complication of radioiodine therapy. When pustular lesions develop after radioiodine therapy, iododerma should be kept in mind after the exclusion of other differentials. It appears within 4-6 weeks after therapy and is a self-limiting condition. PB - https://www.ejmcr.com DO - 10.24911/ejmcr/173-1524198251 UR - https://www.ejmcr.com/?mno=297118 ER -
