title: Oleoma: rare complication of mesotherapy for cellulite.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Mesotherapy or intradermotherapy is used as a cosmetic procedure for many purposes, among them for cellulite.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of oleoma on the thighs and buttocks that appeared two years after the injection of an unknown substance for improvement of cellulite.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Lesions and associated pruritus resolved with colchicine, leaving depressed scars.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Serious and peer-reviewed investigations must be performed to certify the efficacy and safety of this procedure.
