Key Points

The aim is to understand the occurrence of linear hypopigmentation following methylprednisolone tendon sheath injection.
Observed cases of hypopigmentation after steroid injections
Monitored for weeks to months post-injection
Analyzed the characteristics of the hypopigmentation
Linear hypopigmentation was observed tracking superficial veins
Condition is benign and self-resolving
Awareness can prevent misdiagnosis and support conservative management

Implication

This report observes linear hypopigmentation post-steroid injection in tendinitis, suggesting a need for awareness in management.

Abstract

Linear hypopigmentation tracking superficial veins can occur weeks to months after a steroid injection. Recognizing this as a benign, self‐resolving process can prevent misdiagnosis and support conservative management.
