| Abstract |
|
Steroid-induced lipodystrophy is preduced by long-acting injectable glucocortiocoids (triamcinolone acetonides) within three weeks after intramuscular injection. It can be caused by inappropriate use of injectable steroids. Although it is recovered spontaneously without medication or plastic surgery, it may lasts for several years. Recently we experienced four cases of steroid-induced lipodystrophy and present a brief review of related literatures. |
