Abstract:
A 60-year-old woman presented with a depressed lesion at the site of her first COVID-19 (Astra Zeneca) vaccine injection. The lesion was diagnosed as a case of injection related localized lipoatrophy as markers of autoimmune disease were negative and biopsy differentiated it from localized involutional lipoatrophy. This case of localized lipoatrophy was likely due to inadvertent subcutaneous injection of the COVID-19 vaccine with a 16 mm long needle.

515
While local anesthetics are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can occasionally cause adverse effects that vary in severity. Local anesthetics can induce toxicity at two distinct levels. They can either produce local effects through direct contact with the neural elements or be absorbed into the bloodstream from the injection site, leading to systemic effects.
Once absorbed into the systemic circulation, local anesthetics can affect the organs that depend on the functioning of sodium...
