Abstract/OtherAbstract:

We report an unusual case of minocycline-induced pigmentation mimicking persistent ecchymosis in a patient with persistent (20 months' duration) bluish black discoloration of the medial and lateral aspects of the left ankle following an avulsion fracture. We review the common presentations of minocycline-induced pigmentation as well as some of the more unusual presentations. |
