Abstract:
A 47-year-old woman developed widespread psoriasis following insertion of a combined oestradiol-testosterone implant into her anterior abdominal wall for post-oophorectomy symptoms. The rash did not resolve until the effects of the implant had worn off and recurred following insertion of a second oestradiol-testosterone implant. Implants containing oestradiol alone were tolerated. We have found no previous reports suggesting a relationship between testosterone implants and psoriasis.
