Complications in the intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide by jet injector (Dermojet).
Two patients with lichenified eczematous lesions on the dorsal aspect of the hands were treated intralesionally with triamcinolone acetonide injected with an air-powered high-pressure device, Dermojet. The therapy was complicated by tendon rupture in one patient and by the development of a subcutaneous nodule, which was suspected to be a foreign body granulomatous reaction, in the other patient.
