This paper presents a brief review of the results of research in the area of electrical skin injuries. It also includes a case report of a 5-year-old girl noted on her admission to the hospital to have injuries to the skin of her chest and left arm. Histological examinations demonstrated that the skin lesions were segmental and showed necrosis and inflammation. Deposits of calcium salts distinctly located to collagen fibers were observed below the regenerated epidermis at the periphery of two skin lesions of the chest wall, in the lower part of dermis at the periphery of a skin lesion of the left arm, and within connective tissue adjacent to elastic arteries and peripheral nerves from the thoracic cavity. The pattern of calcification localized to collagen fibers and situated both superficially and deeply in the skin in a zone of viable tissue close to necrotic tissue is characteristic of electrically induced lesions. Although there have been reports of deposition of calcium salts on collagen fibers after application of calcium salts in high concentration at the skin surface, the collagen calcification in the pattern observed in this patient is probably diagnostic of electrical injury.
