Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ferric carboxymaltose is a non-dextraniron complex used in patients with iron deficiency. However, iron injections may lead to long-lasting brown discoloration secondary to extravasation at the injection site. We herein report a case involving a patient who developed pigmentation after intravenous iron injection and was successfully treated with combined laser therapy. A 36-year-old woman presented with circumscript pigmentation on her left arm after having undergone intravenous iron injection for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Histopathologic examination revealed basal hypermelanosis and dermal infiltration of siderophages. Combined therapy with 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser and 595 nm pulsed dye laser was performed to treat the lesion, and marked improvement was noted after five sessions.
