Although most commonly associated with iodinated contrast exposure, a variety of predisposing factors and potential associations have been reported, including impaired renal function, repeated iodine exposure, and more recently, hydralazine therapy in isolated cases. We report two women with chronic kidney disease and recent iodinated contrast exposure who developed rapidly progressive, painful, bullous, erosive, and retiform eruptions after contrast administration. Both patients had concurrent hydralazine exposure. Initial clinical considerations included deep fungal infection, ecthyma, Sweet syndrome, drug eruption, and vasculitis. Histopathologic examination demonstrated a neutrophil\u2010rich dermal infiltrate with numerous basophilic haloed cryptococcoid bodies and vasculitis with fibrinoid necrosis. Fungal, bacterial, and acid\u2010fast stains were negative, and extensive infectious evaluations were unrevealing. Markedly elevated serum and urine iodine levels supported the diagnosis of iododerma. Both patients exhibited multiple immunologic abnormalities, including positivity or elevated levels of p\u2010ANCA and antinuclear, anti\u2010histone, anti\u2010myeloperoxidase, and anti\u2010proteinase 3 antibodies. These findings were interpreted cautiously given concurrent hydralazine exposure, the absence of definitive systemic autoimmune vasculitis, and the potential for reactive serologic abnormalities in the setting of intense neutrophilic inflammation. Both patients improved following corticosteroid therapy, iodine clearance, and discontinuation of hydralazine. These cases emphasize the diagnostic importance of recognizing haloed cryptococcoid bodies within a neutrophil\u2010rich infiltrate associated with vasculitic injury as part of the histopathologic spectrum of iododerma. The significance of hydralazine exposure in the pathogenesis of iododerma remains uncertain and warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cup.70234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T01:45:53Z","timestamp":1791769553000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Unmasking Iododerma: A Distinctive Histopathologic Pattern of Neutrophil\u2010Rich Dermatosis With Haloed Cryptococcoid Bodies in the Setting of Hydralazine Exposure and Autoimmune Serologic Abnormalities"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0852-7187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Volha","family":"Lenskaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical Pathology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Ciurea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6872-103X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mika","family":"Tabata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2675-1529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teny M.","family":"John","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Infectious Control, and Employee Health The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5867-1403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Woo Cheal","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical Pathology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdcr.2025.12.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM197311082891907"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018134"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/000155584480481"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"900","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1972.01620090070016","article-title":"Vegetating Iododerma.
