- Abstract
Chemical burns from calcium hydroxide have commonly been reported, though almost always in adulthood and frequently, occupationally. This article presents two cases of caustic ulcers caused by calcium hydroxide in 2 adolescent football players. An 11-year old boy presented with roundish erosive lesions, tending to coalesce, with polycyclic well-defined uninflamed borders, on the upper side of both thighs, especially the left. Symptoms were limited at presentation to a mild burning sensation. The history revealed that erythematous lesions had first appeared quite suddenly a few hours after a soccer match and that they had quickly become erosive and burning.
