De Quervain tenosynovitis is a stenosing tenosynovitis of the first dorsal
compartment of the wrist that can lead to painful functional impairment of the
upper limb. This case presentation describes a rare adverse effect of
corticosteroid injection (CSI) involving local skin atrophy and hypopigmentation
with proximal linear extension. In this case, hypopigmentation developed from the
wrist to beyond the elbow after CSI with ultrasound guidance and targeted
placement of the injectate in the extensor tendon sheath of the first dorsal
compartment. Dermal complications of CSI are rare but notable and potentially
disfiguring events that should be discussed with every patient during the
informed consent process before soft tissue CSIs.
