Cushing's syndrome associated with the intradermal injection of triamcinolone diacetate.
A case of long-term Cushing's syndrome after intradermal injection of 160 mg of triamcinolone diacetate has been presented. The evidence of whether this decrease occurred secondary to the intradermal injections of triamcinolone diacetate or to exogenous abuse is not clear. However, because of the extensive use of intradermal steroids in the treatment of keloids as well as other lesions, this case is significant, whatever the cause. Further study is being accomplished and the final results will be reported by the endocrinology service, Wilford Hall Medical Center, in a follow-up article.
