1. 1. Four cases of local necrosis due to cutaneous allergy to extracted epinephrine are presented with a review of the literature. 2. 2. The necrosis can be explained best by the mechanism of the Arthus phenomenon. 3. 3. From our observations and those of Cohen and Waterstone the use of synthetic epinephrine in patients sensitive to extracted glandular preparations is suggested.
