Cutaneous linear atrophy following intralesional corticosteroid injection in the treatment of tendonitis

Abstract

It is well-known that local and systemic side effects due to intralesional corticosteroid injections are common. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with cutaneous linear atrophy along the abductor pollicis longus tendon, which appeared after an injection of intralesional corticosteroid in the treatment of do Quervain tendonitis.
