Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nicolau syndrome, also known as livedoid dermatitis or embolia cutis medicamentosa, is a rare cutaneous adverse drug reaction characterized by the acute onset of cutaneous and soft-tissue necrosis following intramuscular drug injection. The typical presentation is pain around the injection site, developing into erythema, a livedoid patch, and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous fat, and muscle tissue. We report a 72-year-old man who presented with a painful, erythematous patch on his left buttock. The patient was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac sodium) injection.
