Gluteal pigmentation after intramuscular iron injections.
We report a case of gluteal pigmentation after intramuscular iron injections. A study in light microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray micro-analysis by energy selection confirmed iron deposition. These cutaneous pigmentations with iron deposits are infrequent because such injections are now rarely used.
