“…Alternatives to Mastisol may include another liquid adhesive like compound tincture benzoin (CTB), but numerous studies have noted that Mastisol has a lower incidence of postoperative contact dermatitis than CTB 9 and is a less potent sensitizer to reaction in part owing to its superior adhesive qualities. 10–12 Moreover, the use of CTB after reaction to Mastisol may not be appropriate because CTB contains some of the same ingredients as Mastisol (e.g., styrax). Notably, both of these adhesives may have cross-reactivity with other allergens, such as balsam of Peru and colophony, which are found in many common products.…”

BACKGROUNDPatients with spina bifida have repeated interactions with the healthcare system and often require multiple surgeries throughout their lifetime. Latex precautions are often indicated owing to the high risk of anaphylactic reactions. The choice of dressing for these patients represents an opportunity for learning and standardization if appropriate. The authors discuss the various cases of skin reactions to Mastisol in the literature in comparison with their case and explore the possible mechanisms underlying this skin reaction given the high prevalence of latex allergy in patients with spina bifida.OBSERVATIONSThe authors present the case of a 17-year-old girl with a history of spina bifida and shunted hydrocephalus who underwent a shunt externalization operation and subsequently developed an allergic contact dermatitis reaction to Mastisol liquid adhesive. Topical steroid cream was then administered, and signs and symptoms resolved over the next 3 days.LESSONSThe choice of dressing should be considered carefully in patients with spina bifida given their repeated exposures and possible sensitivities. The authors aim to increase the awareness of the possibility of Mastisol-induced skin reactions in patients with spina bifida and set a foundation for future studies to investigate the relationship between latex allergy and sensitization to Mastisol.

“…Notably, both of these adhesives may have cross-reactivity with other allergens, such as balsam of Peru and colophony, which are found in many common products. 10 Thus, it may be wise to avoid both in patients with spina bifida and to choose dressings judiciously, with minimal possible irritants.…”

“… 1 Mastisol has been reported to have about seven to eight times more adhesiveness, as well as a lower incidence of postoperative contact dermatitis, compared with the previously favored adhesive Compound Tincture of Benzoin (CTB) 2 . Colophony has been reported to have a 2% cutaneous allergen ACD reaction rate with patch testing (Hood et al 3 ).…”

Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Mastisol Adhesive Used for Skin Closure in Orthopedic Surgery: A Case Report

We report on a rare case of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) from Mastisol liquid adhesive. We are aware of a few reports in the medical literature, but none describes an allergic reaction during the third exposure to the offending agent. Our patient was a 20-year-old Caucasian man with a history of cerebral palsy spastic hemiplegia who underwent single-event multilevel soft-tissue surgery to optimize function of his left upper extremity. He developed a severe cutaneous allergic reaction after his third exposure to Mastisol. He was subsequently admitted to the inpatient service and managed without further complications by a multidisciplinary team comprising orthopedics, pediatrics, and dermatology. We discuss the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of this entity, and we also review relevant available literature on the subject. We aim at creating further awareness of allergic reactions because of exposure to available skin-prepping and wound-dressing agents.
