Palmar and flagellate hyperpigmentation following low dose intralesional injection of bleomycin for cystic hygroma.
A 1(1/2)-year-old boy developed hyperpigmentation of the palms and feet along with flagellate pigmentation over the trunk following intralesional injection of bleomycin for cystic hygroma. We present this case to highlight the possibility of cutaneous pigmentation being induced by bleomycin in low doses through non-intravenous administration.
