ABSTRACT
Nicolau syndrome or embolia cutis medicamentosa is an acute necrotic condition of skin that follows intramuscular injection of drugs. A 36-year-old man developed a painful, purpuric and erythematous patch on his left buttock following an intramuscular injection of diclofenac sodium. Histologically, the patch lesion displayed epidermal necrosis, dermal degeneration, and vascular thrombosis. We report a rare case of Nicolau syndrome following intramuscular injection of diclofenac sodium. In our case, the patient was successfully treated by surgical excision with primary closure.
