Corticosteroid injections are an effective treatment for many medical conditions. However, clinicians must be aware of potential side effects of this treatment modality so that proper patient counseling can take place. Patients with pigmentary alteration after intra-articular or intralesional corticosteroid injections have rarely been reported in literature. We present an adult male patient with linear depigmentation after an intralesional corticosteroid injection for a Morton's neuroma.
皮质类固醇注射是许多医学病症的有效治疗方法。然而,临床医生必须了解这种治疗方式的潜在副作用,以便能对患者进行适当的咨询。关节内或病灶内注射皮质类固醇后出现色素改变的患者在文献中鲜有报道。我们报告一例成年男性患者,其在接受病灶内注射皮质类固醇治疗 Morton 神经瘤后出现了线状色素脱失。
