ABSTRACT
We present a patient who, while under therapy with systemic corticosteroids to control lupus erythematosus, noted lesions of leprosy (Hansen's disease) on her elbow and knee. The corticosteroids may have played a role in the emergence of the leprosy. Leprosy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions with sensory loss to hasten diagnosis and therapy.

ABSTRACT
Intravenous drug abuse is a serious medical problem in the United States. We report a new cutaneous manifestation of drug abuse: the development of foreign body granulomas. These may develop months to years after the last intravenous injection and should be considered a possible cutaneous manifestation of systemic talc granulomatosis.
