Fixed drug eruption to sulindac.
We report a case of fixed drug eruption secondary to sulindac (Clinoril). Owing to the drug's current popularity we believe that physicians should be made aware of this phenomenon. We present a patient who had the unusual feature of hypopigmentation associated with healing of his lesion. A brief review of clinical features and pathophysiology of fixed drug eruption is also presented.
