Granulomas induced by subcutaneous injection of leuprorelin acetate
2006
Leuprorelin acetate, a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat prostate cancer, is a synthetic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist. We report a 75-year-old man who presented with several large subcutaneous nodules at the site of leuprorelin acetate injections for his prostatic cancer. A biopsy of the nodules disclosed epithelioid granulomatous inflammation and resulted in a diagnosis of drug-induced granulomatous reaction to leuprorelin acetate.
