  • Title: A diagnostic pearl in allergic contact dermatitis to fragrances: the atomizer sign.
    Author: Jacob SE, Castanedo-Tardan MP.
    Journal: Cutis; 2008 Nov; 82(5):317-8. PubMed ID: 19090333.
    Abstract:
    Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) reactions to fragrances may present in a variety of ways because of exposure to these allergens from a wide range of sources. We describe a diagnostic pearl for this common ACD, primarily seen overlying the prominentia laryngea (Adam's apple) both in women and girls, which we have called the atomizer sign.
