ABSTRACT

We read the article entitled ‘‘Diclofenac sodium-induced livedoid dermatitis (Nicolau syndrome) in an obese patient’’ in the esteemed ‘‘Journal of the Egyptian Women's Dermatologic Society’’ with great interest. Anany et al reported an elderly female who developed a unilateral painful ulcer around the site of a diclofenac sodium injection.
