Abstract:
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.
